Michael Mann claims IPCC low-balled sea-level hysteria because it fears the ‘climate denial machine’
The Huffington Post reports:
“Its good to see that the IPCC has moved in the right direction this time by at least trying to account for the key contribution to sea level rise from melting ice sheets,” director of Pennsylvania State University’s Earth System Science Center Michael Mann told The Huffington Post in an emailed statement, explaining that it was ignored in the previous IPCC report from 2007.“However, the projections they provide are still overly conservative, with an upper limit of roughly one meter by 2100, when there is published work that suggests that possibility of as much as two meters (six feet) sea level rise by 2100,” he added.“This fits a pattern of the IPCC tending to err on the side of conservative, in part–I believe—because of fear of being attacked by the climate change denial machine.”
