Hi koan; LOL, I bet you thought that was very convincing! Let's take a closer look at just one alarmist item it included:

"I say the AR5 is a “partial” review that is “hopefully” the last because, like every IPCC report, it is an instantly out-of-date snapshot that lowballs future warming because it continues to ignore large parts of the recent literature and omit what it can’t model. For instance, we have known for years that perhaps the single most important carbon-cycle feedback is the thawing of the northern permafrost."

Fortunately, we *know* that the arctic was fully 8 degrees C warmer than it is now for 8,000 years (during the Eemian interglacial) and yet there was no catastrophic global warming. Greenland's ice cap made it through that warmth a couple of degrees C for a few centuries isn't going to make the planet any different than it's been before.

And that warmth graph you give at the beginning, it's missing a few details. First, temperatures have been stable for 15 years so instead of rising vertically the future should be drawn horizontally. Second, it's well known that the warm temperatures of the past were much hotter than it is now. The hippo is native to England.
