Probably nothing new here for you, but others reading this thread might enjoy the links to alternative perspective on climate change and the IPCC's presentation of the data.

Kevin Anderson lecture at the Cabot Institute, Nov.27, 2012. (58 minutes) This lecture really captures the unreliability of IPCC models, pathways, assessments, and reports.

Four Degrees and Beyond Special Issue Journal - can be accessed from the Tyndall Centre site

Has links to several papers discussing emission scenarios, water, economies rich and poor, human migration impacts and policies, ecosystem impacts, adaption possibilities, and more. There are many scientists preparing information for the four degree world by mid century or shortly thereafter.
