The things that you're liable to read in the IPCC bible ain't necessarily so, Chris Uhlmann says. It's a bold claim | Graham Readfearn

The contributor to Sky News accuses climate change ‘zealots’ of not having read the research. But his own reading is less than comprehensive

Global groundwater warming due to climate change

Aquifers contain the largest store of unfrozen freshwater, making groundwater critical for life on Earth. Surprisingly little is known about how groundwater responds to surface warming across spatial and temporal scales. Focusing on diffusive heat transport, we simulate current and projected groundwater temperatures at the global scale. We show that groundwater at the depth of the water table (excluding permafrost regions) is conservatively projected to warm on average by 2.1 °C between 2000 and 2100 under a medium emissions pathway. However, regional shallow groundwater warming patterns vary substantially due to spatial variability in climate change and water table depth. The lowest rates are projected in mountain regions such as the Andes or the Rocky Mountains. We illustrate that increasing groundwater temperatures influences stream thermal regimes, groundwater-dependent ecosystems, aquatic biogeochemical processes, groundwater quality and the geothermal potential.

We need leaders who dare to question the climate 'consensus'

The use of RCP 8.5 in local government decision-making

Katharine Moody calls for more resolute action to push-back on the use of extreme climate scenarios when developing local hazard planning. Despite PCE and court warnings, cells committed to the extremes still operate in rule-making bodies
