The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has informed global climate policy and public understanding of climate science for over three decades. Yet, despite growing scientific confidence,
Interesting podcast! But I would have loved if the challenges faced by authors were discussed more in detail-about how they keep themselves motivated doing this volunteer job. Because largely academic community are doing free jobs from publishing in journals to peer reviewing. Also, how the coordination between chapter lead author, coordinating author, chapter scientists etc. look like on a monthly basis. How are timelines created, negotiated and what unseen challenges do the team face which could act as a learning curve for this cycle's author teams. Better understanding on the role of each team member would have added depth to the podcast!
The UN's IPCC AR6 full report, chapter 11 'Weather and Climate Extreme Events in a Changing Climate' summarises the fact that certain severe weather events cannot be detected as increasing, nor attributed to human caused climate change:
Pages 1761 - 1765, Table 11.A.2 Synthesis table summarising assessments
Heavy Precipitation: 24 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend (12 medium confidence), 43 out of 45 low confidence in human attribution.
Agricultural Drought: 31 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend
(14 medium confidence. No high confidence assessment). 42 out 45 low confidence in human attribution (3 medium, no high confidence).
Ecological Drought as above.
Hydrological Drought: 38 out of 45 global regions low confidence in observed trend.
43 out 45 low confidence in human attribution (2 medium confidence, no high confidence).
So the IPCC are saying we didn't cause droughts and we didn't make it rain. How surprising!
There is no objective observational evidence that we are living in a global climate crisis.

To me, the very essence of carbon tax is an escape from prevention to (an appearance of) cure.
