The head of the UN intergovernment climate change body on Wednesday voiced strong concern at the accelerated melting of the polar ice caps, calling for international tariffs on carbon emissions. "Now there's enough evidence to show that there...

Oh, boy! If this isn't incredible incompetance it has then got to be something very peculiar. But then we should be getting used to getting half truths and outright lis from the AGW Scamsters.Mar 25, 2008
The IPCC: On the Run at Last

By OnTheWeb: Bob Carter

UN climate body is in panic mode as satellite temperatures turn down and a hard winter lashes both hemispheres.

Recently, in their Fourth Assessment Report (4AR), and faced with their failure to convince the public that the sky is falling, the IPCC delivers even more preposterous advice in ever shriller tones, saying that “Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely (>90% probable) due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations”. The press, most of whom have firmly identified with the alarmist cause, continues to appease the Green gods by faithfully running IPCC’s now unrealistic scientific propaganda, thereby stoking public alarm; the science is a done deal, they say, and the time has come to stop talking. According to UK journalist, Geoffrey Lean, all that is lacking to solve the global warming “crisis” is political will from governments.

“Global warming theory indicates that temperature rise due to increasing carbon dioxide emissions should be most prominent at heights of 5-10 km in the lower atmosphere; instead, more warming is occurring at the surface. For the lower atmosphere, the satellite data indicate that, since the 1998 El Nino when temperatures spiked 10C due to a rise in water vapour emissions (the principal “greenhouse gas"), global temperatures dropped sharply, then stabilized and now show signs of continuing down - is global cooling next? (data courtesy of Professors John Christy and Roy Spencer, University of Alabama, Huntsville; a best-fitted spline curve represents longer term temperature trends).”

That there is a mismatch between model prediction and 2007 climate reality is again unsurprising. For as IPCC senior scientist Kevin Trenberth noted recently: “there are no (climate) predictions by IPCC at all. And there never have been”; instead there are only “what if"projections of future climate that correspond to certain emissions scenarios. Trenberth continues, “None of the models used by IPCC is initialized to the observed state and none of the climate states in the models corresponds even remotely to the current observed climate”.

For the last three years, satellite-measured average global temperature has been declining. Given the occurrence also of record low winter temperatures and massive snowfalls across both hemispheres this year, IPCC members have now entered panic mode, the whites of their eyes being clearly visible as they seek to defend their now unsustainable hypothesis of dangerous, human-caused global warming.

Judy, you remind me of an old buzzard.

Just remember that buzzards have an important function of in cleaning up the environment.

The IPCC is a well funded fake organization put together by Ted Turner and Maurice Strong...it stinks to heaven, and this old buzzard can smell the stench from miles away.

Ted Turner is running the UN?!

No, Ted Turner started a foundation with $1 Billion called the UN Foundation. It is not part of the UN, it is under the control of Turner and it funds projects the UN rubber stamps, like the IPCC.
http://www.apfn.org/apfn/turner.htm

The article talks about Turner's connection to Maurice Strong who once said:"Isn't the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn't it our responsibility to bring about?"

That's what the "Global Warming" agenda is about.
It is also about Al Gore and Maurice Strong making lots of money from carbon trading. Gore and Strong were in business together a while back in a business which didn't do much research but got $33 million from the Department of Energy for it.

You've got a lot to learn kiddo.

Wow! My comment went way over your head honey.

Oh, then explain what you meant. It looked like a pretty straight forward comment coming from lack of background knowledge to me, so I was just trying to enlighten you, my dear.

Katja, all comment to Judy goes way over her head LOL. Buzzards care about what is dead - not what is alive.

Sure, buzzards play an important role in the environment - but so do all living things. :)

This article leaves out some very important observations for anyone who wants to be fully informed.
