"According to a new report from the advocacy group Corporate Accountability International, several of the Paris COP’s corporate sponsors have direct ties to the fossil fuel industry, and, the group argues, a conflict of interest when it comes to the purported goals of the summit.
“It’s greenwashing,” CAI spokesperson Jesse Bragg said. “Those corporations are able to say they’re part of the solution just because they write a check.”"

http://www.stateofourclimate.com/Here from AMEG; " Within 5 years of a blue ocean event one would also expect the Arctic Ocean to be at least 1.0°C warmer than present on the surface, with even greater warming at depth."
"We are concerned that IPCC has failed to consider the implications of the dramatic climate change in the Arctic, and in particular the retreat in Arctic sea ice, should it decline to less than one million square kilometres (1m km2) at its minimum extent in September. We call this the "blue ocean event", because there would be so little sea ice left floating on the ocean"
"The Arctic Methane Emergency Group, AMEG, is a multi-disciplinary group containing scientists, engineers and communicators, drawing on top expertise from many fields. We view the Earth System as a finely-tuned mechanism that has produced violent climate change over much of the past 2.5 million years but a remarkably stable climate and sea level for the Holocene past 8000 years."
From The Arctic Methane Emergency Group, AMEG
"Draft agreement of Paris outcomes has been released...
• Perhaps the best thing is that the 2C target (with respect to pre-industrial levels) has been changed to 1.5C or well below 2C.
• There is no suggestion to limit the levels of CO2 and CO2eq, let alone to bring them down to 350 ppm and 400 ppm respectively, the levels they were thirty years ago.
• A search found that there is no mention of the Arctic, Antarctic, poles, jet stream or methane.
• COP must live on a different planet."

"Based on the thirty-year decline in sea ice and its poor state at the end of recent summers, we estimate the probability of a blue ocean event by 2020 at 80%, noting that the Maslowski 2012 paper projects the event for 2016±3 years [3]. These estimates are at odds with the IPCC models which fail to properly capture the positive albedo feedback effect and hence give a probability of <1% for the blue ocean event occurring so soon."

Methane was the driver of the Permian extinction and it will be the finalblow in this one, the 6th great extinction.
