Investigation Calls for 'Fundamental Reform' at U.N. Group on Global Warming
An independent investigation called for "fundamental reform" at the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, saying the organization's 2007 report played down uncertainty about some aspects of global warming.
The probe of the IPCC, a preeminent climate-science body that won the Nobel Peace Price three years ago, was conducted by the InterAcademy Council, a consortium of national scientific academies. Leaders of the IPCC asked the council to conduct the probe following the disclosure of a few errors in its 2007 climate-science report, which concluded, among other things, that climate change is "unequivocal" and is "very likely" caused by human activity. The investigation comes at a precarious time for the IPCC and for advocates of tough measures to curb greenhouse-gas emissions. For months, critics of such steps have cited the errors in the IPCC's 2007 report as reason to question the group's basic conclusion about climate change. As the InterAcademy Council's report notes, recent polls suggest the controversy over IPCC errors has caused public confidence in climate science to fall. Meanwhile, the recession has dimmed the enthusiasm of some politicians to push for major changes in energy production and consumption.
Some critics, in the wake of the disclosure of the errors, called for IPCC chairman Rajendra Pachauri to resign. But Mr. Pachauri, who has said those errors were minor, said Monday that he hopes to serve until his term ends after the publication of the panel's next major climate-science study in 2014. "I was instrumental in requesting this review, and now that we've got it, I believe my responsibility is to take it forward," he said.

After all that, they still man-made global warming is real.
Ping! ;-)
Just to cover all the bases, the bishops of AGW confirm, even cooling is caused by global warming.
It’s over. These idiots just don’t know it yet. They will never regain the confidence of the public. Without that, the politicians will not act.
Have no fear, the lefties will think up some new reason why they have to micro-manage our lives for our own good.
The global warming scam has become a ridiculous joke.
It reminds me of when I was in grade school and a kid had a joy buzzer.
After he had shaken hands with everyone in the class and half of the school, it became tiresome when he tried to do it a second time to people who were no longer fooled.
*After all that, they still man-made global warming is real.*
“No really, that man behind the curtain...Pay no attention!...he’s just some guy.....I am the Great and Powerful OZ, you know!!!!”
“Really...here, let me show you. Pick a card, any card....no not THAT one! That’s the one that shows that 4500 out of 6000 temperature gathering stations
were shut down because they didn’t show warming.”
“Have the little dog pick a card now...”
“Scarecrow? Anybody? Somebody?”
*Just to cover all the bases, the bishops of AGW confirm, even cooling is caused by global warming.*
If somehow the Earth remains at a steady temperature, that would also be counted as man-made

Geee, you'd think it was his idea.
AGW is Mann-Made.
The curtain is gone, and with it the manipulation thru fear, uncertainty, and doubt is over, and the backlash of anger is just getting started.
If the Earth's atmosphere were to be represented on a 100 yard football field (American), the makeup would look like something this:
From the goal line, go down 78 yards to the 22 yard line on the other end, and you have nitrogen.
Go 21 yards further, to the 1 yard line, and you have oxygen (99 yards total so far).
From the 1 yard line to the 3 inch line, you have argon(inert gas).
From the 3 inch line to the 1 inch line, you have ALL other gasses.
The last 1" would be representative of ALL the CO2 in the atmosphere.
Of that last 1", approximately 1/86th of it is produced by us.
