The IPCC accepted the invitation in April 2016, deciding to prepare this Special Report on the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level of 13.67 C = (15.17 C) and related global greenhouse gas emission pathways, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development.

ZERO SEA RISE IN SYDNEY HARBOUR
There has been NO significant sea level rise in the harbour for the past 120 years, and what little there has been is about the height of a matchbox over a century. Along the northern beaches of Sydney, at Collaroy there has been no suggestion of any sea level rise there for the past 140 […]
GRAPHS HELPED GLOBAL WARMING
The NOAA graph is typical of the UN, IPCC and other publicly funded agencies who are exaggerating the amount of global warming for funding and political purposes by producing charts that are misleading and disproportionate in scale. Arguably, the most common form of misleading graphs is where the Y-axis is manipulated. When comparing similar data […]
WHY ELECTRIC VEHICLES CATCH FIRE
There’s little remaining doubt that the main reason why electric vehicles (EVs) catch fire is because their batteries overheat. Some lithium-ion vehicle batteries are prone to catching fire if they are poorly manufactured, handled or improperly installed. That should be no surprise. EV battery packs contain hundreds of small individual cells linked together. EV manufacturers […]
GAS POWER PLANT & CO2 CAPTURE
The Bellingham natural gas combined cycle (NGCC) power plant in south central Massachusetts demonstrated the commercial viability of carbon capture using Fluor’s Econamine FG PlusSM™. The 40 MW slipstream capture facility operated from 1991 to 2005 and captured 85-95% of CO2 that would have otherwise been emitted. The figure below shows the power plant and […]
THE FACTS ABOUT CARBON DIOXIDE
There are several misconceptions about CO2, created to prove the hypothesis and raise the level of threat in various ways. For example, an early IPCC claim said atmospheric residency time of CO2 was at least 100 years. Done, ostensibly, for the political point that even if we stopped CO2 production immediately the damage done lasts […]
