Integrity Lost
As the claims of climate alarmists continue to be investigated, the integrity of their premise continues to evaporate. While the article by Christopher Booker in the Telegraph (U.K.) outlines the previous unearthing of erroneous climate claims, it is worth reminding you here:
1. Climategate - Hacked personal e-mails of top climate researchers reveal illegal dumping of information to dodge freedom of information laws, and also statements like “The fact is that we can’t account for the lack of warming at the moment and it is a travesty that we can’t.”
2. Himalayan Glacier Debacle – Further investigation into claims in the 2007 IPCC report found that a statement was included – that Himalayan glaciers would all melt by 2035 – which was a blatant fabrication, and had literally no basis in fact. Despite being warned about this by at least one prominent glaciologist, the statement was included in the report anyway.
Which brings us to:
3. Help us pretend to save the rain forest lie (also dubbed Amazongate by Mr. Booker) – As the article details, claims in the same 2007 IPCC report featured claims from non-peer reviewed, and essentially propagandist, material that stated that climate change would endanger “up to 40 percent” of the Amazon rain forest. This claim essentially had no scientific backing.
While climate alarmists continue to claim that we are headed toward a climate catastrophe, it is clear from building pile of falsified claims and unethical activity that these climatologists are shrouding the truth. As mentioned in a previous article of mine, The Common Sense Climate, there are many well-regarded scientists who disagree entirely with the theories behind human-induced climate change.
It is clearly time for the IPCC, the CRU, and all other organizations supporting climate alarmism to be audited, and for a truly independent organization to be created that will investigate the effects of human activity on the climate. Until then, the climate debate will forever be concealed by disingenuous propaganda.
