AR5 open thread

This is an open thread for anyone wanting to discuss the Summary for Policymakers. We gather that it was only approved an hour ago but that journalists were issued with a press release shortly before 8am UK time. Suggestions of a reining back on the alarm.

Headlines seem to speak of 2°C warming by 2100. If true this is a big reining back from AR4 which was talking of 1-4°C.

If rumours are correct, the pause is not part of the headlines.

The pause is apparently being written off as insignificant, a result of the 1998 start date chosen. If true I will be truly gobsmacked.
