The “summary for policymakers” of the report, seen by the Mail on Sunday, states that the world is warming at a rate of 0.12C per decade since 1951, compared to a prediction of 1.3C per decade in their last assessment published in 2007.
Other admission in the latest document include that forecast computers may not have taken enough notice of natural variability in the climate, therefore exaggerating the effect of increased carbon emissions on world temperatures.

At least quote it right. The prediction was for 0.13C/decade, not 1.3C/decade as you state. Being off by 0.01C is not a lot.

I copied and pasted from the article.

That's a weird paste then because the article says 0.13

Indeed it does, now. Unless Firefox mangled the C&P, they updated their story online.

So someone misread the number, wrote a scandalous article around, mistake fixed but article left. To get page hits?

Many of the article's points remains. The dire prediction of numerous and devastating hurricanes that never came true for one.

I'm gonna go burn some pristine rain forest just because it can't possibly harm the planet! Let's all be wasteful with no consequences!

I don't know about you but I stopped breathing 9 years ago. No CO2 emission from this body!
