The UN Climate Change Numbers Hoax
Its an assertion repeated by politicians and climate campaigners the world over 2,500 scientists of the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) agree that humans are causing a climate crisis.
But its not true. And, for the first time ever, the public can now see the extent to which they have been misled. As lies go, its a whopper. Heres the real situation...
For the first time ever, the UN has released on the Web the comments of reviewers who assessed the drafts of the WG I report and the IPCC editors responses. This release was almost certainly a result of intense pressure applied by hockey-stick co-debunker Steve McIntyre of Toronto and his allies. Unlike the other IPCC working groups, WG I is based in the U.S. and McIntyre had used the robust Freedom of Information legislation to request certain details when the full comments were released...
A total of 308 reviewers commented on the SOR, but only 32 reviewers commented on more than three chapters and only five reviewers commented on all 11 chapters of the report. Only about half the reviewers commented more than one chapter...
Compounding this is the fact that IPCC editors could, and often did, ignore reviewers comments. Some editor responses were banal and others showed inconsistencies with other comments...
In total, only 62 scientists reviewed the chapter in which this statement appears, the critical chapter 9, Understanding and Attributing Climate Change. Of the comments received from the 62 reviewers of this critical chapter, almost 60% of them were rejected by IPCC editors. And of the 62 expert reviewers of this chapter, 55 had serious vested interest, leaving only seven expert reviewers who appear impartial...

Yes. The same “selective” analysis was applied
to the — side smoke causes cancer — data.
LISTEN UP PEOPLE. If the media promotes it,
it is probably a lie and will eventually cost you
either your life, your liberty or your sanity.
the hoax has been exposed.

Not quite. The Big Lie continues to be repeated every night on “Nightly News” with Brian, et al.
Did you notice the “Freep This” button on the web-page? I’ve never seen that before.
BUMP!
FYI
Activists --- all activists --- are an unimaginative lot. Once they "learn" of a technique, they use it until it becomes a caricature.
Dr. Thomas Sowell wrote a hilarious series about that very thing:
And ultimately they don't even care how much the "poor" nations end up getting - as long as they gain political power and hefty commissions for themselves in return for facilitating the transfer. Socialism 101. ;)
Coggie, what’s your take on this?

Not true. The warmist's want the money transfered to them so that they can then dole out the money to the poor. Of course 90% of it will be eaten up in administration costs.
There is a danger here. Al Gore is a political opportunist. The IPCC and UN are globalists with socialist tendencies. The media is left of the mainstream. Therefore whatever they report on climate change is false. While the first 3 statements are clearly true, the fourth IMHO is not. The majority of scientists, outside of the UN, believe anthropogenic global warming is probably occurring. That doesn’t mean we should run out and join Kyoto or whatever comes out of Bali, and it doesn’t mean we should cripple our economy; but it does mean we should take the issue very seriously. It surprises me to see so many fellow freepers cling to every piece of junk science (and some real science) undermining climate change, while ignoring any science suggesting that GHGs are contributing to global warming.
If a hoax is perpetrated every day and exposed every day is it the same hoax every day?
“The majority of scientists, outside of the UN, believe anthropogenic global warming is probably occurring.”
Evidence backing that contention please?
I remember a few weeks back reading a survey listed here that showed that less then 30% of those who responded believed that human activity played a significant role in global warming. The survey was restricted to scientists who actualy worked in climate related fields of study.
I, for one, would certainly like to see even the smallest little bit of proof for that statement. But even if you can gather a bunch of "scientists" who agree with you, that's still just consensus, not science. You see, getting a bunch of researchers who have post graduate degrees in some field to all agree on some wild assed politically-grounded myth and whose grants, i.e., their livlihoods, are predicated on perpetuating that myth, isn't science, it's politics.
It surprises me to see so many fellow freepers cling to every piece of junk science (and some real science) undermining climate change, while ignoring any science suggesting that GHGs are contributing to global warming.
It is really pathetic when a 15 year old's science project can credibly and objectively refute mental midjits like you, James Hansen, Michael Mann, et.al. with simple, eloquent and science-based facts showing that the "science" of anthropogenic GW and GHG's is blow-it-out-your-@$$ stupidity. Pull your head out of your anal sphincter and actually read some of this "junk science undermining climate change" and maybe you will learn something.
On the other hand, you probably won't. It's sad and amazing that a 15 year old can understand what you obviously can't.
