Climate bugs some posters a lot. They are persuaded Earth is in danger. And not way into the future as the Sun will explode Earth guys are saying, they mean very fast. They think the IPCC report predicts this. But the IPCC report does not predict the end of Earth is on the horizon at all. Many climate scientists would love to be published, however the alarmists make way too much money using doom so the scientists who are honest are not having an easy time getting out the facts.
Here is a video discussing this and feel free to help out.
 
This is another issue that will be decides when the president is elected.
As will many Scotus rulings!

We have seen so many reports against Climate debunked, how could a president do things and be honest? No president controls climate.

Honesty too is yet to be decided by the president.

As will the question on humans influencing climate.

Somebody may pronounce in the Future that humans influence the spin of Earth. So what?
 
The IPCC is political ... note how they don't allow for dissent ... that ain't science ... the reputable scientific journals all have room for this dissent as "letters to the editor" ... it's how we vet the truth ...
 
Oh ... will Republicans ask Joe Biden to speak at their convention this summer? ... or will it be politics as usual? ...
Democrats will!!! At their convention.
 
Rather than take Robert's dubious characterizations, why don't we take a look at what the IPCC's reports actually DO say. This is from the AR6 Synthesis Report.

Summary for Policymakers

A. Current Status and Trends Observed Warming and its Causes Summary for Policymakers
A.1 Human activities, principally through emissions of greenhouse gases, have unequivocally caused global warming, with global surface temperature reaching 1.1°C above 1850-1900 in 2011-2020. Global greenhouse gas emissions have continued to increase, with unequal historical and ongoing contributions arising from unsustainable energy use, land use and land-use change, lifestyles and patterns of consumption and production across regions, between and within countries, and among individuals (high confidence).​
...​
Observed Changes and Impacts
A.2 Widespread and rapid changes in the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and biosphere have occurred. Human-caused climate change is already affecting many weather and climate extremes in every region across the globe. This has led to widespread adverse impacts and related losses and damages to nature and people (high confidence). Vulnerable communities who have historically contributed the least to current climate change are disproportionately affected (high confidence).​

Current Progress in Adaptation and Gaps and Challenges Summary for Policymakers

A.3 Adaptation planning and implementation has progressed across all sectors and regions, with documented benefits and varying effectiveness. Despite progress, adaptation gaps exist, and will continue to grow at current rates of implementation. Hard and soft limits to adaptation have been reached in some ecosystems and regions. Maladaptation is happening in some sectors and regions. Current global financial flows for adaptation are insufficient for, and constrain implementation of, adaptation options, especially in developing countries (high confidence).​

Current Mitigation Progress, Gaps and Challenges

A.4 Policies and laws addressing mitigation have consistently expanded since AR5. Global GHG emissions in 2030 implied by nationally determined contributions (NDCs) announced by October 2021 make it likely that warming will exceed 1.5°C during the 21st century and make it harder to limit warming below 2°C. There are gaps between projected emissions from implemented policies and those from NDCs and finance flows fall short of the levels needed to meet climate goals across all sectors and regions. (high confidence) {2.2, 2.3, Figure 2.5, Table 2.2}​

B. Future Climate Change, Risks, and Long-Term Responses

Future Climate Change
B.1 Summary for Policymakers Continued greenhouse gas emissions will lead to increasing global warming, with the best estimate of reaching 1.5°C in the near term in considered scenarios and modelled pathways. Every increment of global warming will intensify multiple and concurrent hazards (high confidence). Deep, rapid, and sustained reductions in greenhouse gas emissions would lead to a discernible slowdown in global warming within around two decades, and also to discernible changes in atmospheric composition within a few years (high confidence).​

Well there you go. The alleged experts took care of your problem for you. I was not involved at all.
 
The actual data


NO WARMING in the ATMOSPHERE
NO WARMING in the OCEANS
NO ONGOING NET ICE MELT
NO BREAKOUT IN CANES
NO OCEAN RISE


just warming on the surface of growing urban areas

In the OP and elsewhere, you have attempted to accuse the IPCC of fearmongering. Show us some IPCC fearmongering Robert.

Pseudo-science ... they don't allow for dissent ...


If you would publish science showing the mountains of evidence and science are wrong, you would be famous.

Why isn't anyone doing this? It's not for lack of funding. The fossil fuel companies are flush with cash.

(There's an easy answer)
 
Pseudo-science ... they don't allow for dissent ...
1) What is your evidence for that claim?
2) The conclusions of the IPCC are enormously, famously, rigorously and numerically QUALIFIED. What is that if not the inclusion of dissent?
