Ocean Questions
So Many Ocean Questions.
The IPCC tells us today there is more debate on the ocean’s effect on the climate. They explain they are gaining understanding of the power as well as the scale of the ocean’s effect while admitting big questions exist today.
The IPCC asks the important basic question on whether the oceans are a passive recipient of atmospheric forcing or an active contributor? (AR4 Section 1.4.6 Page 111)
Let’s start by looking at general ocean questions.
Over 150 climate questions from AR4/AR5.
Questions and more questions.
This section highlights all the important climate questions described in the UN’s IPCC assessment reports, AR4 and AR5.
AR4 and AR5 are the most complete and current climate information out there today, a road map for future generations. However, they are not the easiest reads because information on any particular subject is found throughout the 3000+ pages of these reports.
You make think over time there would be less questions as the climate gets figured out, but from AR4 to AR5 the number of question and material increased by several fold.
One reason for this increase in questions comes from the fact many predictions the IPCC made in AR4 missed.
These missed predictions needed to be examined in more detail in AR5.

What is the IPCC?
UN’s IPCC Assessment Reports 4 and 5 (AR4 2007 and AR5 2014). These UN reports include over 600 authors from 32 different countries assessing 9,200 peer-reviewed studies so they are the all-inclusive on the current state of climate science putting out new reports every seven or so years.
AR5 explains the United Nation’s IPCC was created in 1988 to provide world governments with “clear information on the state of today’s climate science as well as potential impacts, and options for adaptation and migration based on regular assessments”. (AR5 Section 1.2.1 page 123)
