I think in hindsight that my concerns from 2013 to some extent were supported by the fact that the IPCC organised an Expert Meeting on Communication, Oslo, Norway, 9–10 February 2016. The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.
