"The IPCC if anything is substantially understating the effects of AGW." Yeah, the group tends to be conservative in their findings. There are lots of reports saying "sooner than we expected", and unpleasant surprises like warm water under Antarctic glaciers. Study reveals new Antarctic process contributing to sea level rise and climate change Date:April 18, 2018 Source:University of Tasmania Summary:A new study has revealed a previously undocumented process where melting glacial ice sheets change the ocean in a way that further accelerates the rate of ice melt and sea level rise. The research found that glacial meltwater makes the ocean's surface layer less salty and more buoyant, preventing deep mixing in winter and allowing warm water at depth to retain its heat and further melt glaciers from below. sciencedaily.com "They will have egg on their face in a few decades" I dunno. I think that will only happen if we cool off. I don't fault them for being conservative. It's not like they are saying there will be minimal effects. "all the Libertarians who were belittling AGW will instead be bashing the IPCC and scientists for 'not sounding the alarm'" Yup.
