Friends of Science Society Reports RCP 8.5 Climate Scenario Sidelined by Sub-Committee
Friends of Science Society has informed Canada's Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) that the RCP 8.5 climate scenario, previously used in climate risk assessments, has been deemed implausible and officially sidelined by a climate sub-committee. The new scenarios will influence the upcoming IPCC AR7 report and impact government climate policies and financial risk assessments.
