IPCC sharpens its language

Climate change deniers pounce upon anything – word, phase or sentence – from which they can create doubt and so claim legitimacy for their deceptive arguments.

Reports from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have frequently been the target of those questioning the science.

Now The Carbon Brief in a story headed: “How the IPCC is sharpening its language on climate change” tells readers that the IPCC is sharpening the language of its latest draft synthesis report.

“Not only is the wording around how the climate is changing more decisive, the evidence the report references is stronger too, when compared to the previous version published in 2007”, it reports.
