IPCC, definition of
- IPCC
Climate change is a change in the statistical distribution of weather over periods of time
that range from decades to millions of years. It can be a change in the
average weather or a change in the distribution of weather events
around an average (for example, greater or fewer extreme weather
events). Climate change may be limited to a specific region, or may occur across the whole Earth.
In recent usage, especially in the context of environmental policy, climate change usually refers to changes in modern climate. It may be qualified as anthropogenic climate change, more generally known as global warming.

EcoWho Articles where 'IPCC' used:- What is Climate?
We ask: what is climate? and how we experience the climate effects how we think about it. - Climategate, what is going on?
Global warming, climate change, greenhouse effect and climategate; how 'valid' is the climate science?
EcoWho blog posts where 'IPCC' used:- Climate Council, represents who?
The Climate Commission is being reformed as the Climate Council, we ask who do they represent and what is their funding model? - Shale Oil in South Australia, problem or opportunity?
Potentially massive amounts of shale oil exist in South Australia, is this a good thing or a bad thing? - Extreme weather not related to Climate Change says IPCC
In a rather surprising report from the IPCC they play down the link between extreme weather and Climate Change... - Climatic Models incomplete - poor understanding of mid level clouds cited
Clouds play a major role in the climate-change equation, but they are the least-understood variable in the sky, observes a Texas A&M University geoscientist, who says mid-level clouds are especially understudied. - Indonesia to cut down rainforests for $1Bn climate aid
Indonesia plans to class large areas of its remaining natural forests as "degraded" in order to cut them down and receive nearly $1bn of climate aid for replanting them with palm trees and biofuel crops. - Climate change is not the long term problem, environmental degradation is.
We propose that man-made climate change, as a risk to society as we know it, is less of a real risk than current environmental degradation and pollution. - CO2 global levels rising, is this a problem?
According to recent reports in the media it looks like 2010 is 'expected' to be a record this year. We look into the actual facts and find this is just speculation prior to Cancum. - Solar Panel Calculator
Solar Panel Calculator, given the size, power and number of panels works out total power, rated voltage and amps. - IPCC must reform, recommends IAC
An independent review said the scientists who produce the periodic United Nations reports on climate change (IPCC) should be more open to alternative views, more transparent about their own possible conflicts of interest and more realistic in the reporting of the likelihood of climatic events. - Alternative Solar Energy
Alternative Solar Energy - this phrase often creates images of hippies and flower power... We look at what it really means. - Call for tighter review of IPCC data
Prof Jean Palutikof, who spent 5 years at the British Met Office preparing the UN report, Climate Change 2007: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability, admitted the existing system was flawed because "quite a lot" of information had not been peer-reviewed by independent scientists before publication. - IPCC conclusions fail under legal cross examination
A cross examination of global warming science conducted by the University of Pennsylvania’s Institute for Law and Economics has concluded that virtually every claim advanced by global warming proponents fails to stand up to scrutiny. - Time to comment on the IPCC
The IPCC is awaiting your feedback, tell it as it is... - A study: The temperature rise has caused the CO2 Increase, not the other way around
Differentiating the CO2 measurements over the last thirty years produces a pattern that matches the temperature anomaly measured by satellites in extreme detail. That this correlation includes El Niño years, and shows that the temperature rise is causing the rise in CO2, rather than the other way.. - Global Warmings unscientific method
Peer review seems to be more about peer pressure when trying to publish anything that goes against the Global Warming group think. - Is keeping data private 'normal practise' in climate research?
It seems Phil Jones thinks its perfectly normal to do research and publish said research whilst withholding data. - Yet another Climate Change department?
Seems the AU government are busy producing yet more Co2 via civil servants for climate change. - Act on Co2 - the advert..
Ofcom in the UK is investigating a climate change advert which really takes things too far. - Met Office proposes to make Data Set Verifiable
The UK Met Office want to put in place a collation of station data that is publicly accessible. - Cover-More, you drink and its cover-less..
If you have Cover-More insurance, don't travel and do any drinking if you want to remain insured - thats the finding of a recent Today Tonight special. - Is ETS a lame duck?
The Emissions Trading Scheme looks to be stuck in the Senate. Does this mean it will fail? - A failure to insulate
It appears the Rudd governments insulation rebate scheme is beyond repair... - Climate Change bullies?
Climate Change Scientists seem to believe they are being bulled... - Sydney transport - oh what a fine mess!
Yet more politically motivated tweaking of the Sydney transport system.. - National Climate Change Forum response
This is in response to the National Climate Change Forum being held in Adelaide. - What is the fuss with biochar??
Given the sudden interest in the media on biochar one would think a way of really saving the world has been discovered... - Bush Fires and being Green, can you do both?
Given that bush fires cause a lot of destruction and environmental damage, can we manage them and be green at the same time? - Is the Australian Stimulus package green enough?
