So now, there are politicized weather charts?
Did they get anything done on Darfur though?
"There are lies, damn lies, and statistics....." Samuel Clemens, aka Mark Twain.....
Typical of the Commie revisionist UN.
Have you ever read, or heard of, the book "How to Lie with Statistics"?............
Another good one is "How To Lie With Maps"-
presenting graphical information in the best pssible light for your cause.

"How to Lie with Dogs" by D. Fleeze............
We shouldn't speak the truth, and liberalism is our only salvation from all these nonexistant problem.
The Murrican Pipple have spoken.
LOL
When I forst got How to Lie With Maps I thought it was a kink manual for cartophiles!
You need to look beyond mere liberalism, Laz, the only solution to global warming is the end to industrial capitalism and the immediate switch to agrarian socialism.
"How to Lie with Snakes" by D. Charmer............
Will that be led by special UN Commissioner Pol Pot Jr.?
Agrarian socialism? Seems like somebody tried that for several decades in the 20th Century. Didn't work very well.........People just don't "share" enough.........
How can we go to school on this and "erase" the UN. At least move them out of the USA for starters.

A classic book to be sure, and a cousin of the dirty tricks technique mastered by Leftist photo-journalists (more properly known as visual propaganda enablers), in which the zoom lens is employed to make a handful of "anti-war activists" or "anti-American protestors" in some mideast sewer, appear to be a mob.
This kind of thing leads to what happened on Tuesday, lazy, uninformed voter-sheep effectively dimming the light of this great republic.
This is a line that gets me;
Stern says: "As anticipated by scientists, global mean surface temperatures have risen over the past century." As anticipated? Only 30 years ago, scientists were anticipating a new Ice Age and writing books called The Cooling."
Or the recent report I saw here on FR (sorry, I don't have the link) that CO2 may be a lagging indicator - ie the earth warms which releases more CO2 from the ocean?
Or maybe that Greenland was once, well, green?
No probably not. This looks like a politics driven report.
