69% Say It’s Likely Scientists Have Falsified Global Warming Research

Quoting Rasmussen Reports:

“The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of American Adults shows that 69% say it’s at least somewhat likely that some scientists have falsified research data in order to support their own theories and beliefs, including 40% who say this is Very Likely.”

US House votes to defund the IPCC!

Quoting Lawrence Solomon
at the Financial Post:

“The U.S. House of Representatives today voted by a wide margin — 244-179 — to defund the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The $13-million cut, which garnered support from some Democrats, is part of the House’s budget for 2011. It now goes to the U.S. Senate.”

Global Warming Forest Destruction Debunked

A new study (Science 12 November 2010: Vol. 330. no. 6006, pp. 957 - 961) refutes global warming tropical rainforest destruction hysteria.

IPCC computer models (inaccurately) suggest (as a “best estimate”) warming over the next century somewhere between 1.8C and 3.6C. Actually, 0.4C is a more reasonable estimate. But, based upon recent studies, even that estimate is likely too high.

The study we’re looking at today examined the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM, 56.3 million years ago), a time of “rapid warming” when temperatures in tropical regions “are estimated to have increased by 3° to 5°C”. This was a time when temperatures ranged from roughly 8C to 12C warmer than we see today.

This study reports that (emphasis mine):

“We investigated the tropical forest response to this rapid warming… We observed a rapid and distinct increase in plant diversity and origination rates… The tropical rainforest was able to persist under elevated temperatures and high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide, in contrast to speculations that tropical ecosystems were severely compromised by heat stress.

In other words, this study found nothing but BENEFITS to this extremely rapid warming and “high levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide”!

Another myth bites the dust -- including the new media meme of a biodiversity crisis.

Well, given the source of the IPCC tropical rainforest hysteria mongering, it should come as no surprise that real science (once again) debunked the purely political and utterly discredited IPCC.

The IPCC Con Job

Quoting The Science & Public Policy Institute
independent review of the IPCC:

“The IPCC is a disgrace to science. In its desire to fit the square peg of science into the round hole of politics it has abandoned the ‘scientific method’ and replaced it with a desperate search for data and other material that might support a specific hypothesis.”

IPCC Chairman Pachauri fighting to save his 'job'

Quoting The U.K. Telegraph:

“Rajendra Pachauri, the Chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), will defend his handling of a crisis that has shaken the world's faith in his organisation at a meeting of environmental leaders in Bali.

He will try to save his job by outlining plans to reform the way the IPCC works in the wake of the discovery of errors in its latest report.”

OceanGate - Sea-Levels Are NOT RISING!

If you have bought into the hysterical propaganda that sea-levels are rising, humans caused it and global catastrophe looms large, you might want to read this interview and this interview with perhaps the world’s foremost authority on sea-level.

Note: For those who find the dowsing smear campaign credible…
If you care to prove you are not hopelessly gullible, you can start by locating ONE direct quote from Dr. Mörner on dowsing. I looked. I did not find any. If you DO find any such quote, you can then explain how that discredits Dr. Mörner’s observations on sea-levels. Good luck with that one! Fools!

Of course, not even the factually challenged alarmists at the IPCC support the hysterical propaganda pushed by the British government in the first link. The IPCC -- relying upon recently invalidated computer models -- suggest sea-levels might rise by a mere 7” to 23” by 2100.

(See Table 3.1 on page 45 from this rather large and slow loading IPCC PDF file.)

HurricaneGate - The Great IPCC Meltdown Continues

Phil Jones Proves ALL IPCC Computer Models are WRONG!

Click here for the BBC Q&A.
The most overwhelming significance of this admission has been overlooked by EVERYBODY!

The alarmists at NOAA are on record admitting that:

“The [computer model] simulations rule out (at the 95% level) zero trends [in global temperatures] for intervals of 15 yr or more, suggesting that an observed absence of warming of this duration is needed to create a discrepancy with the expected present-day warming rate.”

That’s it! Game OVER! The AGW Hysteria cult is officially DEAD and BURIED!

According to the very core of the alarmist cabal, the IPCC computer models -- the SOLE SOURCE of all the hysterical predictions of climate catastrophe -- have been invalidated!
Additionally, the alarmists at NOAA admit there has been no global warming since 1998:

“The trend in the ENSO-related component for 1999–2008 is +0.08±0.07°C decade, fully accounting for the overall observed trend. The trend after removing ENSO (the "ENSO-adjusted" trend) is 0.00°±0.05°C decade.”

IPCC faces another desertion – its own past chair!

Quoting Lawrence Solomon at the Canadian Financial Post:

“The past chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has joined the growing list of IPCC critics. According to the Sunday Telegraph, Rajendra Pachauri, the disgraced current IPCC chair, now faces criticism from his immediate predecessor, Robert Watson…

Watson’s new-found scepticism of the science being produced by the IPCC represents an ironic reversal. In 2002, he remarked that ‘The only person who doesn't believe the science is President Bush.’”

AfricaGate - The Great IPCC Meltdown Continues

Quoting Walter Russell Mead at The American Interest
(I inserted the links):

“It’s not just the threat of Himalayan glaciers disappearing by 2035.

Now another headline grabbing IPCC scare story is melting away. A report in Sunday’s London Times highlights new humiliations for the IPCC.

‘The most important is a claim that global warming could cut rain-fed north African crop production by up to 50% by 2020, a remarkably short time for such a dramatic change. The claim has been quoted in speeches by Rajendra Pachauri, the IPCC chairman, and by Ban Ki-moon, the UN secretary-general.’

There is however one teensy-weensy little problem. As Professor Chris Field, the lead author of the IPCC’s climate impact team has now told reporters that he can find ‘no evidence’ to support the claim in the IPCC’s 2007 report.”

Petr Chylek - Open Letter to the Climate Research Community

Quoting Dr. Petr Chylek:

“For me, science is the search for truth…

It seems that the climate research community has betrayed that mighty goal in science…

The damage has been done. The public trust in climate science has been eroded…

So what comes next? Let us stop making unjustified claims and exaggerated projections about the future even if the editors of some eminent journals are just waiting to publish them. Let us admit that our understanding of the climate is less perfect than we have tried to make the public believe. Let us drastically modify or temporarily discontinue the IPCC. Let us get back to work.

Let us encourage students to think their own thoughts instead of forcing them to parrot the IPCC conclusions.”

What? A call for a return to scientific integrity?

The great global warming collapse

Quoting Margaret Wente at Canada’s Globe and Mail
(I inserted the link):

“‘The global warming movement as we have known it is dead,’ the brilliant analyst Walter Russell Mead says in his blog on The American Interest. It was done in by a combination of bad science and bad politics…

By exaggerating the certainties, papering over the gaps, demonizing the skeptics and peddling tales of imminent catastrophe, they've discredited the entire climate-change movement. The political damage will be severe. As Mr. Mead succinctly puts it: ‘Skeptics up, Obama down, cap-and-trade dead.’ That also goes for Canada, whose climate policies are inevitably tied to those of the United States.”

NeatherlandsGate & The Disreputable IPCC

Quoting Agence France-Presse:

“The Netherlands has asked the UN climate change panel to explain an inaccurate claim in a landmark 2007 report that more than half the country was below sea level, the Dutch government said Friday.

According to the Dutch authorities, only 26 percent of the country is below sea level, and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be asked to account for its figures, environment ministry spokesman Trimo Vallaart told AFP.”

India (Rightly) Abandons the IPCC

Quoting The U.K. Telegraph
(I inserted the links):

“The Indian government has established its own body to monitor the effects of global warming because [like everybody else] it ‘cannot rely’ on the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the group headed by its own leading scientist Dr R.K Pachauri…

[Note: Dr. Pachauri has NO academic background in ANY branch of science!]

The move is a significant snub to both the IPCC and Dr Pachauri as he battles to defend his reputation following the revelation that his most recent climate change report included false claims that most of the Himalayan glaciers would melt away by 2035. Scientists believe it could take more than 300 years for the glaciers to disappear.”

Climate Heretic Questioned by Detectives

Quoting the uber-Leftist U.K. Guardian:

“A scientist at the University of East Anglia has been questioned by detectives investigating how controversial emails were leaked from the campus's climate research unit.

Norfolk police have interviewed and taken a formal statement from Paul Dennis, 54, another climate researcher who heads an adjacent laboratory…

Dennis's own research, which dates fluctuating temperatures in ice cores stretching back thousands of years, does not support the more catastrophic current predictions of runaway global warming.”

ChinaGate - The Dog Ate My Climate Data (AGAIN)

Quoting the uber-Leftist U.K. Guardian:

“It is difficult to imagine a more bizarre academic dispute. Where exactly are 42 weather monitoring stations in remote parts of rural China?

But the argument over the weather stations, and how it affects an important set of data on global warming, has led to accusations of scientific fraud and may yet result in a significant revision of a scientific paper that is still cited by the UN's top climate science body.

It also further calls into question the integrity of the scientist at the centre of the scandal over hacked climate emails, the director of the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit (CRU), Dr Phil Jones. The emails suggest that he helped to cover up flaws in temperature data from China that underpinned his research on the strength of recent global warming.”

AmazonGate & The Disreputable IPCC

Quoting Christopher Booker at Telegraph.co.uk
(I inserted the link):

“The IPCC made a prominent claim in its 2007 report, again citing the WWF [World Wildlife Fund] as its authority, that climate change could endanger ‘up to 40 per cent’ of the Amazon rainforest – as iconic to warmists as those Himalayan glaciers and polar bears. This WWF report, it turned out, was co-authored by Andy Rowell, an anti-smoking and food safety campaigner who has worked for WWF and Greenpeace, and contributed pieces to Britain's two most committed environmentalist newspapers. Rowell and his co-author claimed their findings were based on an article in Nature. But the focus of that piece, it emerges, was not global warming at all but the effects of logging…

A Canadian analyst has identified more than 20 passages in the IPCC's report which cite similarly non-peer-reviewed WWF [World Wildlife Fund] or Greenpeace reports as their authority, and other researchers have been uncovering a host of similarly dubious claims and attributions all through the report. These range from groundless allegations about the increased frequency of ‘extreme weather events’ such as hurricanes, droughts and heatwaves, to a headline claim that global warming would put billions of people at the mercy of water shortages – when the study cited as its authority indicated exactly the opposite, that rising temperatures could increase the supply of water.”
