IPCC Special Report, Monaco Ocean Cryosphere Findings
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a special report on the ocean and cryosphere following a meeting in Monaco. The report claims with "very high confidence" that ice sheets are shrinking and ocean warming has doubled since 1993. Critics argue the terminology of "confidence levels" indicates the findings are based on consensus opinions rather than absolute scientific facts.
