Leaked UN report shows that Earth isn't warming as fast as predicted

Man I had so much hope in that global warming thing, shorter winters and shit, oh well...
Quote:
A leaked draft of a UN climate change report to be released later this month shows the planet isn't warming as quickly as previously believed, reports say.
The UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change forecasts carbon emission-caused global warming would increase average temperatures by between 1.5-4.5 C, rather than the 2007 report claim of 2-4.5 C, according to a summary obtained by the National Post.
The report suggests the threshold for climate change damage may not have been crossed as most experts say that global warming of less than 2 C won't cause harm.
Author and British House of Lords member Matt Ridley, wrote in the Wall Street Journal that the latest UN study "dials back the alarm."
"It is significant because it points to the very real possibility that, over the next several generations, the overall effect of climate change will be positive for humankind and the planet," Ridley wrote.
Report co-author Myles Allen, director of Oxford University's Climate Research Network, said the report isn't a "Bible" on climate change, the Telegraph reports.
"It is not a Bible; it is a scientific review, an assessment of the literature. Frankly, both sides are seriously confused on how science works — the critics of the IPCC and the environmentalists who credit the IPCC as if it is the gospel."
The report is expected to be released Sept. 27.

So I ask all of you environmentalists. What do you make of this?

Global warming would probably end up meaning longer more intense winters, ... depending on where you live.
"It is not a Bible; it is a scientific review, an assessment of the literature. Frankly, both sides are seriously confused on how science works — the critics of the IPCC and the environmentalists who credit the IPCC as if it is the gospel."
I especially like that part.

Global warning = harsher winters?
My logic fails to understand, care to explain a little bit more?

i dont get why everyone is so into oh, no global warming
i would think pollution and contamination is a worse problem

theyre the same problem. 
As for the article, good news. We have more time to fix all this bullshit. For the people who say "See?! Hoax!" This is just another example of why science works. We guess something, its slightly off, so we adjust.

Scientists adjust... the problem is people don't.

Indubitably.
Climate scientists aren't going to wage war and burn down libraries, only to concede a century later that they were wrong. They're just gonna do moar science.

Its still happening though and once we hit 4, things will be VERY different and >5 is pretty much the end of 1/2 of the world

The Artic circle has lost a lot of the thickness it used to have, stuff that's been frozen for ages is being washed out to sea.

ORLY? CO2 emissions continue to increase and the models continue to fail. Maybe it's time to abandon the models. Did you know that computer modeling is not science?

We don't need models. Ice caps are smaller and smaller every year. Glaciers that have been around for thousands of years are nearly gone. Islands are vanishing to the point where populations are having to leave the places their ancestors have lived for generations. The evidence of climate change is everywhere.
