Man, I think I’m gonna need a scorecard to keep up with the hits the on UN’s IPCC report that purports to prove man-made climate change.
Let’s see, we have the emails showing that certain data sets were “tricked” to show temperature gains over time.
Then there was the fudged numbers from weather stations in New Zealand and other locations.
The it turned out that those melting glaciers in the Himalayas wouldn’t be gone by 2035 after all.
Next we learned that the increase in weather related property damage couldn’t be tied to AGW after all.
And now the Times of London is reporting this:
A STARTLING report by the United Nations climate watchdog that global warming might wipe out 40% of the Amazon rainforest was based on an unsubstantiated claim by green campaigners who had little scientific expertise.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in its 2007 benchmark report that even a slight change in rainfall could see swathes of the rainforest rapidly replaced by savanna grassland.
I’m just glad that AGW is “settled science”. Otherwise, folks might begin to wonder what the hell is going on.
Seriously, do you honestly believe that human activity is having no impact on the climate? I find it hard to believe that you do not which makes posts like this inane. I have no doubt that science cannot predict the exact time various glaciers will melt, or the exact increase in temperature we can expect each summer or the exact rising of sea levels or the exact date that the next ice age will begin or the exact amount of carbon emissions must be reduced or where it coming from in precise measurements. Just because we science cannot pin point these things doesn’t mean global warming is a myth or that humans are not exacerbating the problem.
Its kind of like claiming that the Holocaust could not have occurred because if 6 million Jews had been exterminated when there were 9 million at the time, they couldn’t have reproduced to 12 million since the war when their birth rates indicate a replacement value of one. I made the numbers up so don’t bother trying to google. My point is 6 million is an estimate and the fact that it is an estimate doesn’t make the Holocaust any less of a fact.
