An Irish Overview of the Latest Climate Science for Policymakers

Help us move forward with your donations made here.



This elegant and graphic filled 36 page whitepaper provides a brief overview of the latest Climate Science, compiled by the Irish Climate Science Forum


Here is their introduction:
"It is a summary compilation of the latest climate research and observations by independent scientists worldwide. The summary does not claim to be scientifically rigorous in every aspect, but hopefully encapsulates the key facts in this rapidlyevolving field. The latest research and observations indicate that while there is an anthropogenic Green‐ House Gas (GHG) influence, it is considerably less than depicted by the IPCC. Much more is also now understood about solar and other natural influences, weather events and many physical observations. Objective analysis of the facts points to prudent mitigation action but does not indicate a looming climate crisis."

Many of the major issues are touched on, from paleoclimate and hot models to floods and global greening. The treatment is data intensive and the numerous graphs are excellent. There are also over 100 references.

This paper is a useful textbook.
