One of the central issues is believed to be why the IPCC failed to account for the “pause” in global warming, which they admit that they did not predict in their computer models. Since 1997, world average temperatures have not shown any statistically significant increase.
The summary also shows that scientist have now discovered that between 950 and 1250 AD, before the Industrial Revolution, parts of the world were as warm for decades at a time as they are now....

Analyses of ancient DNA has shown that the numbers of the huge beast fell as the ice age warmed, eventually leaving the species confined to tiny pockets of the earth.
The animal was “sensitive” to climate changes and eventually was unable to recover from the impact on their habitat, the team believe.
Professor Adrian Lister, research leader of the Natural History Museum, said that the study showed that it was not over hunting which decimated the entire population.
“Climate change squeezed them down to small patches and maybe in that situation human hunting could have dealt the final blow,” he said.
The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, built up a family tree of mammoths spanning 200,000 years by analysing DNA from 88 samples of mammoth bone, tooth and tusk...
