I wonder what would not happen if a @UN #science panel would not predict crisis or catastrophe? It would not be news anyway. @IPBES theguardian.com/environment/…

(A) IPBES is an independent intergovernmental platform - not part of the U.N. (B) if you read the reports instead of just the media you’d see there are no predictions of catastrophe - but options offered to avoid them (C) but why let facts get in the way of a good rant right?

Still waiting for access to your documentation. But you seem to want media releases done first. Esp interested in assumptions & models behind “Land degradation and climate change are likely to force 50 to 700 million people to migrate by 2050” Not prediction of crisis you say?

Not sure how much easier we can make this - it's the first item on our feature marquee on the website: ipbes.net/outcomes and yes - no prediction of catastrophe - scientfic scenario modelling complete with policy options to mitigate.

You refer to “unedited advance summaries” which do not contain any advanced information on how results were obtained. Uneasy. Your media release 1st para states ”undermining the well-being of 40% of humanity” & “mass human migration and increased conflict” Crisis message, no?

(1) To learn about the 25+ phases of the 3-year IPBES assessment process click here: goo.gl/L7J8pG - the SPMs are the 20-30 page summaries of 500-600 page reports which will be released in full later this year
