Editor's Notes
- #9 Erwärmung oberste 75m von 1971-2010: 0.11 [0.09 to 0.13] °C per decade KW (zB Leibstadt): 7 TWh in einem Jahr. 500x current world energy consumption every year or 10 Mill modern nuclear power plant (1 KKW ca. 7 TWh in 1 year) Ocean warming dominates the increase in energy stored in the climate system, accounting for more than 90% of the energy accumulated between 1971 and 2010 (high confidence).

- #14 This has led to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide that are unprecedented in at least the last 800,000 years.
- #15 Halvparten av CO2 utslipp mellom 1750 og 2011 skjedde siste 40 år.
- #23 It is extremely likely that more than half of the observed increase in global average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010 was caused by the anthropogenic increase in greenhouse gas concentrations and other anthropogenic forcings together.
- #30 It is very likely that heat waves will occur with higher frequency and duration. Over 6 times more frequent in RCP8.5

- #42 However, there is medium confidence that this additional contribution would not exceed several tenths of a meter of sea level rise during the 21st century. SyR: Abrupt and irreversible ice loss from a potential instability of marine-based sectors of the Antarctic ice sheet in response to climate forcing is possible, but current evidence and understanding is insufficient to make a quantitative assessment. {WGI SPM E.8, 5.6.2, 5.8.1, 13.4.3, 13.5.4}. The potential additional contribution to GMSL rise also cannot be precisely quantified, but there is medium confidence that, if a collapse were initiated, it would not exceed several tenths of a metre during the 21st century (Section 13.4.4.2). Abrupt and irreversible ice loss from a potential instability of marine-based sectors of the Antarctic ice sheet in response to climate forcing is possible, but current evidence and understanding is insufficient to make a quantitative assessment. {5.8, 13.3, 13.4 }
