You are cherry picking while grinding an axe in an attempt to exploit scientific consensus limbo; your attempt to discredit peer-review, established research with hinted uncertaintly in an unfinished, unpublished report illustrates your own agenda. Its called confirmation bias.
Remember, there was nothing certain about David Battisti's peer-reviewed, published analysis or even the AR4. He used an uncertain compilation of IPCC AR4 global climate models to present a "highly probable" scenario. AR5 could not invalidate this by reasserting uncertainty, but only by presenting less severe global climate models.
When the AR5 is published, will it illustrate that the AR4 over-estimated potential global temperature rises?
