Still More IPCC Junk Science Passing as "Settled Science"
Posted by The MaryHunter at February 8, 2010 10:09 AM
New factual errors were revealed yesterday in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 2007 landmark "scientific" report. The latest crop, published in the Telegraph, include:
* The publication of inaccurate data on the potential of wave power to produce electricity around the world, which was wrongly attributed to the website of a commercial wave-energy company.
* Claims based on information in press releases and newsletters.
* New examples of statements based on student dissertations, two of which were unpublished.
* More claims which were based on reports produced by environmental pressure groups.
* The IPCC also made use of a report by US conservation group Defenders of Wildlife to state that salmon in US streams have been affected by rising temperatures. The panel has already come under fire for using information in reports by conservation charity the WWF.
* Estimates of carbon-dioxide emissions from nuclear power stations and claims that suggested they were cheaper than coal or gas power stations were also taken from the website of the World Nuclear Association, rather than using independent scientific calculations.
If this wasn't such a serious matter affecting the economies of the industrialized world and the lives of countless poor in developing countries, it would be gut-busting hysterical. But don't expect Michael Moore to make a documentary about this hoax anytime soon -- unless, of course, the socialist hypocrite could get another tax write-off for it.
When will the lies in the name of global warming/climate change end? And how will it affect Al Gore's and Rajendra Pachauri's net worth? Inquiring minds want to know.
