Wait, I thought the IPCC was at the center of climate change study and reporting. Does this contradict my friends who have told me NYC will be underwater in 20 years?

if you read that document it is a very measured kind of rhetoric about the various dimensions of global warming ... they even have a section where they lay out exactly what terms such as "likely, very likely" etc. actually mean in terms of percentages...

  Interesting. I'll just have to read it I guess. Is this sort of a scientific gold standard on that 99% consensus I hear about?

    I think so yes. the "summary for policymakers" is as far as I've gotten but I feel it gives a good snapshot of the current mainstream view.
