Meltdown of the climate 'consensus'

2010-09-03T01:16:00Z

If this keeps up, no one's going to trust any scientists. The global-warming establishment took a body blow this week, as the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change received a stunning rebuke from a top-notch independent investigation. For two decades, the IPCC has spearheaded efforts to convince the world's governments that man-made carbon emissions pose a threat to the global temperature equilibrium -- and to civilization itself. IPCC reports, collated from the work of hundreds of climate...(read more)

Top UN Scientist: There Never Was Consensus on Global Warming

2010-06-15T03:12:00Z

via Chlorinated Liberty The truth about "global warming" continues to reveal itself as a top official with the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change admitted yesterday that there never was agreement on global warming and that only a few dozen scientists actually believed it.

Al Gore Admits Errors in Climate Claims

2010-03-01T20:35:00Z

Newsmax Former Vice President Al Gore admits that mistakes have been made by the scientific community regarding the issue of climate change. In an op-ed piece for The New York Times, Gore said: "It is true that the climate panel published a flawed overestimate of the melting rate of debris-covered glaciers in the Himalayas, and used information about the Netherlands provided to it by the government, which was later found to be partly inaccurate. In addition, e-mail messages stolen from the University...(read more)

guardian.co.uk Study claimed in 2009 that sea levels would rise by up to 82cm by the end of century – but the report's author now says true estimate is still unknown [ Translation - We got caught - AGAIN ] Scientists have been forced to withdraw a study on projected sea level rise due to global warming after finding mistakes that undermined the findings. The study, published in 2009 in Nature Geoscience , one of the top journals in its field, confirmed the conclusions of the 2007 report from the...(read more)

Scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no global warming since 1995

2010-02-14T16:40:00Z

UK Mail Online Data for vital 'hockey stick graph' has gone missing There has been no global warming since 1995 Warming periods have happened before - but NOT due to man-made changes The academic at the centre of the ‘Climategate’ affair, whose raw data is crucial to the theory of climate change, has admitted that he has trouble ‘keeping track’ of the information. Colleagues say that the reason Professor Phil Jones has refused Freedom of Information requests is that he may have actually lost the...(read more)

#CLIMATEGATE - World may not be warming, say scientists

2010-02-14T15:25:00Z

Times Online The United Nations climate panel faces a new challenge with scientists casting doubt on its claim that global temperatures are rising inexorably because of human pollution. In its last assessment the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the evidence that the world was warming was “unequivocal”. It warned that greenhouse gases had already heated the world by 0.7C and that there could be 5C-6C more warming by 2100, with devastating impacts on humanity and wildlife. However,...(read more)

Russians confirm that UK climate scientists manipulated data to exaggerate global warming

2009-12-17T02:50:00Z

By James Delingpole Climategate just got much, much bigger. And all thanks to the Russians who, with perfect timing, dropped this bombshell just as the world’s leaders are gathering in Copenhagen to discuss ways of carbon-taxing us all back to the dark ages. Feast your eyes on this news release from Rionovosta , via the Ria Novosti agency, posted on Icecap .

Sarah Palin: Copenhagen's political science

2009-12-09T03:37:00Z

By Sarah Palin Wednesday, December 9, 2009 With the publication of damaging e-mails from a climate research center in Britain, the radical environmental movement appears to face a tipping point. The revelation of appalling actions by so-called climate change experts allows the American public to finally understand the concerns so many of us have articulated on this issue. "Climate-gate," as the e-mails and other documents from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia have become...(read more)

Christopher Monckton: Dense fog in Copenhagen

2009-12-07T23:01:00Z

From Christopher Monckton of Brenchley: Copenhagen, 7 December 2009 The opening day of the largest international conference ever held has dawned with dense, wet fog blanketing the city of Copenhagen – a metaphor for the two weeks of obnubilation, obfuscation, and obscurantism that are upon us. Copenhagen is usually a beautiful city, but it has been disfigured by mawkish Green propaganda exhibits in every public place, reminiscent of the Nazi propaganda that dismally blanketed the city during World...(read more)

UN Climate Treaty: A Sneak Attack on Humanity

2009-12-07T03:34:00Z

By Alan Caruba It’s ironic that the United Nations Conference on Climate Change began on December 7th. For an aging portion of the U.S. population, December 7, 1941 will always mark the Japanese Empire’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. It drew the U.S. into World War Two. Humanity has been threatened for decades by the effort of the United Nations, through its environmental program in general and its Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in particular, to impose an international treaty that...(read more)

Understanding Climategate's Hidden Decline

2009-12-06T22:47:00Z

By Marc Sheppard Close followers of the Climategate controversy know that much of the mêlée surrounds an email in which Climate Research Unit (CRU) chief Phil Jones wrote about using “Mike’s Nature Trick” (MNT) to “hide the decline.” And yet, 17 days and thousands of almost exclusively on-line op-eds into this scandal, it still seems very few understand exactly which “decline” was being hidden, what “trick” was used to do so, and why Jones’s words have become the slogan for the greatest scientific...(read more)

NASA's Hansen to Obama: Use Global Warming to Redistribute Wealth By Noel Sheppard January 1, 2009 Climate realists around the world have contended for years that the real goal of alarmists such as Nobel Laureate Al Gore and his followers is to use the fear of man-made global warming to redistribute wealth. On Monday, one of Gore's leading scientific resources, Goddard Institute for Space Studies chief James Hansen, sent a letter to Barack and Michelle Obama specifically urging the president-elect...(read more)
