How about referencing where in the report the quote comes from ... and IPCC is FULL of references.

IPCC reports are not referencing always to scientific papers. Especially, they have just wrote this sentence and not other additional information about the issue

Not true... if you give the location of the reference, it would help get your question answered.  Perhaps you are reading the summary report which links to the larger documents.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2017-01-13)

Is there any scientific evidence that exploitation of natural resources (fossil energies, forests etc.) affects rainfalls or sea level, which can represent extreme events?

I read IPCC 2014 report and I see some claims like not all climate scientists agree on a variable catastrophic event probability.

They wrote the following sentences :

> In the future, it is likely that the frequency of tropical cyclones
> globally will either decrease or remain unchanged, but there will be a
> likely increase in global mean tropical cyclone precipitation rates
> and maximum wind speed.

Is there any scientific references that justify this kind of claim ?
