That should read: IPCC admits Fourth Assessment Report based on false data–apologizes to world for wasting billions of dollars
Once again, the IPCC was proven WRONG on a major issue regarding its claim that the probability of glaciers in the Himalayas “disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high.” in the Fourth Assessment Report. In fact, the scientist that initially informed the IPCC of the glaciers disappearing, immediately retracted his statement after he issued it, months before the Fourth Assessment Report came out back in 2007. They had ample time to take it out, but I suppose the exposed Himalayas was a great mental image, not to be wasted.
The Fourth Assessment Report said the evidence for global warming was now “unequivocal,” the chief source for it was man-made and there were already signs, of which glacial melt was one. It was this publication that kicked the world into action and implement carbon caps, carbon trading schemes, and greenhouse gas reductions in nearly every developed nation in the world.
The IPCC is only now launching a probe, three years after the fact, and quickly adds that “the evidence of the report remained incontrovertible. I am careful in saying this, because immediately people will again engage in IPCC bashing, which would be wrong.” (Georg Kaser of the Geography Institute at Austria’s University of Innsbruck). Three years later, the damage has been done. Billions upon billions of dollars have been wasted as a result of this fraudulent report.
Once again the media mainly ignores this fact, and even if the Ottawa Citizen reports on it, the article is strewn with “Attack by skeptics” and “hacked emails” and “IPCC bashing”. Even the headline does not reflect badly on the IPCC: UN climate body to probe Himalayan glacier forecast. I could have come up with a more accurate headline, say: IPCC admits Fourth Assessment Report based on false data–apologizes to world for wasting billions of dollars.
I am getting pretty tired of this Global Warming crowd: time after time they have been proven to fudge the numbers, lie, cheat, make up numbers, manipulate global temperature data and yet half the world still follows them blindly.
It’s time our own government puts a stop to this sham, and stop following anything the IPCC or UN does on the climate front.
This is getting rediculous.

The IPCC ‘probe’ is simply a code word for delay and stall while they get their spin doctors to come up with a scenario that will shift the focus away from the fact that this whole enterprise was nothing but a massive ploy, aided and abetted by the MSM and vested interests, to extort money from the western democracies. These criminals slithered away from the term Anthropogenic Global Warming and adopted Climate Change. They remain the same wolves dressed in sheep’s clothing.
They have ample evidence that the figures used to justify this scam were altered and cherry picked but they will never admit it. Instead they will come up with some scenario that finds a flaw in their computer program that was leading them astray. In the meantime, they will be beavering away a coming up with some new, and equally ridiculous scheme, to alert the world to some impending doom that can only be solved by transferring huge amounts of cash to the undeveloped world. That is, after it has been filtered through the pockets of the corrupt U.N. officials and other criminals such as Al Gore and his ilk who will be certain they skim off the lion’s share.

I would like to bring Jean Chretien’s legacy into this conversation. No, not in the sense that he signed us up for Kyoto targets with absolutely no plan as to how we could reach them. No, the other legacy.
One of the main legacy claims by Chretienites is for something he did NOT do. That is, he did not engage Canada in the Iraq war. This has often been mentioned as a defining decision of his time in power.
Likewise, I think, the same may one day be said about Stephen Harper. Consider his stance regarding climate change.
Harper is either a climate change skeptic or an economic realist (or both) who refused to sell Canada down the river for either Kyoto or Copenhagen. He has offered support to green industries and initiatives without tying a huge rock to our economy and throwing it overboard.
When the history books are written on this file, we may be looking back at one of the very few world leaders who had the courage to face the attacks (domestic and foreign), ridicule and fossil awards without flinching. Likewise, his Ministers of the Environment took their beatings at these international conferences but held firm.
Climate change may be Harper’s legacy to Canada. And contrary to his critics, his role will be an overwhelmingly positive one.

Yes, I think you’re right… He did manage to steer us pretty much clear of any commitments on the climate change front. If we were in Europe, we’d be sending billions to China and India. I am grateful we’re not doing that here, and we have PM Harper to thank for that.
