Using the metric of comments posted, Dana's Why is the IPCC AR5 so much more confident in human-caused global warming? and John Mason's Understanding the pre-IPCC Anti-Climate Science Misinformation Blitz created the most buzz of the articles posted on SkS this past week.
The full report to be released tomorrow (Monday in the US) by the IPCC will generate more SkS coverage of these important documents in the weeks and months ahead.
This poster, created by EARTH: The Operators' Manual, is based on the article, The 5 stages of climate denial are on display ahead of the IPCC report by Dana Nuccetelli, Consensus-the 97%, The Guardian, Sep 22, 2013.
"The important messages are that Earth has warmed significantly, most of the warming has to do with humans, Earth is going to keep warming under almost all future scenarios, and the chances of avoiding the 2-degree danger limits that governments have chosen is small, unless we get out there and develop and implement focused plans to start reducing emissions immediately.
"IPCC reports have been influential in getting governments' attention, even though they lag way behind where they should be. I expect this report to remind governments that they had better find a way to act together and act soon, although it's also true that a lot of governments are going at it on their own. Still, it would be better if they were more coordinated."
- Michael Oppenheimer, professor of geosciences and international affairs at Princeton University and contributor to previous IPCC reports
IPCC Climate Change Report: Experts React by Denise Chow, Live Science, Sep 27, 2013
Dana's article, Why is the IPCC AR5 so much more confident in human-caused global warming? has been adapted into a rebuttal of the myth "IPCC human-caused global warming confidence is unfounded". The short URL for this new resource is http://sks.to/ipcc
The Cook et al. (2013) 97% consensus result was referenced by The Independent, the Peterborough Examiner, ABC Media Watch.
ABC Environment published Dana and Mike Mann's IPCC report underlines the need for climate action.
The Financial Post published John Cook's The 97%: We have a climate consensus.
Climate & Capitalism, EcoWatch, America Blog, and Renew Economy referenced Dana's The 5 stages of climate denial are on display ahead of the IPCC report.
Peter Sinclair at Climate Crocks and Stefan Rahmstorf at RealClimate referenced Dana's The Pacific Ocean fills in another piece of the global warming puzzle, and puzzles Curry.
Media Matters referenced The Escalator and Nuccitelli et al. (2012).
Phil Plait at Slate's Bad Astronomy used various SkS resources in debunking the deluge of pre-IPCC climate denial myths. He also used the Escalator and endorsed SkS in general.
Joe Romm and Peter Sinclair referenced Dana's New Research Confirms Global Warming Has Accelerated.
Wotts Up With That Blog referenced the SkS resource on climate sensitivity.
Broad Oak Magazine featured some SkS myth rebuttals.

HotWhopper debunked a plethora of WUWT posts with the SkS rebuttals database.
Fabius Maximus used the SkS debunking of the myth that the IPCC is alarmist.
The Community Climate Change Consortium for Ireland (C4I) Project was established in 2003. Based in the headquarters of Met Éireann, the Irish National Meteorological Service, in Dublin, its main objective is to consolidate and intensify the national effort in climate change research by building a capability for carrying out regional climate modelling in Ireland and to provide assistance to Irish scientists utilizing climate model output for their analyses.
