Stop grasping at straws like your fellow loonies and accept the conclusions of 2,500 scientists from 130 countries.
Except Kaneda simply makes up numbers.
The IPCC has three Working Groups and a Task Force
http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/index.html Working Group I assesses the
scientific aspects of the climate system and climate change.
Working Group II assesses the
vulnerability of socio-economic and natural systems to climate change, negative and positive consequences of climate change, and options for adapting to it.
Working Group III assesses
options for limiting greenhouse gas emissions and otherwise mitigating climate change.
The Task Force on National Greenhouse Gas Inventories is responsible for the IPCC National Greenhouse
Gas Inventories Programme.So what you really have is JUST ONE of the 4 groups that make up the IPCC that is involved with the SCIENTIFIC BASIS for Global Warming (note THEY have now dropped Global Warming and only refer to Climate Change)
Group 2 simply ASSUMES that the WG1 is correct and assesses the impact of said change.
Group 3 also ASSUMES that WG1 is correct and looks at how we could limit emissions.
Group 4 simply tracks our current emissions.
So ONLY the conclusions of the scientists in WG 1 are actually related to the SCIENCE behind GW.
Who are these scientists?
Here they are:

There are 170 scientists in the Scientific Working Group.
They are not from 130 different countries. (38 are from the USA, 17 are from the United Kingdom)
They are subdivided into specialties, such that any given scientists work does NOT mean they necessarily agree with the REST of the IPCC report.
To put this in perspective, there are ONLY 12 scientists that were responsible for the CRUCIAL question of Attribution (i.e. how much warming is natural vs man made) while nearly as many (11) of the scientists reported on the HISTORY of climate change and 42 of the scientists simply reported on OBSERVATIONS of temperature, ice cover and sea level.
There are just 2 lead Authors for each chapter who are responsible for the FINAL draft that is submitted to the 30 member bureau. This is where the politicians get involved and ONLY WHAT THE POLITICIANS agree to ever gets published.
