Packed with 1,000 pages of peer-reviewed literature -- and then peer-reviewed again by NIPCC's...
You can be forgiven for not noticing that the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a summary of its Fifth Assessment Report late last month.
The report landed with a thud, criticized and even mocked by many leading climate scientists. The distinguished science journal Nature editorialized that this should be the last report issued by the UN body.
This is just the latest signal that the age of climate alarmism is over. Given five tries to convince the world that human activity is causing catastrophic warming of the planet, runaway sea-level rise and various weather disasters, the public still doesn’t buy it.
We’re all skeptics now because the science simply does not back up the hypothesis. For starters, there’s been no rise in global temperatures for 15 years.
The IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report concedes for the first time that global temperatures have not risen since 1998, despite a 7 percent rise in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.
To put that into perspective, global human CO2 emissions in the last 15 years represent about one-third of all human CO2 emissions since the start of the Industrial Revolution, and yet temperatures didn’t budge.
Nearly all of the UN-approved climate computer models were wrong. The IPCC finally admitted as much.
The IPCC also admits that the “hockey stick” it used to feature in past reports wasn’t accurate. Penn State professor Michael Mann has been dining out for years on his infamous "hockey stick,” a dread graph featured by Al Gore in his Oscar-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”
The graph looked so dramatic — like a hockey stick — only because it ignored the Medieval Warm Period, a time about a thousand years ago when temperatures were warmer than today — when wine grapes grew in England and Greenland was green.
The “hockey stick” is missing from the Fifth Assessment Report, and the IPCC admits the Medieval Warm Period was warmer and more global than it claimed in the past.
A third major admission by the IPCC: No increases in droughts, hurricanes, typhoons and other extreme weather. Every time severe weather hits the United States, you could count on IPCC-related scientists, professional climate alarmists and the media to attribute it all to man-made global warming. No more.
The latest IPCC report admits to having “low confidence” in predictions of more frequent or more extreme droughts and tropical cyclones.
While the IPCC is taking its lumps for being wrong on these and other matters, a new kid on the block of climate science is taking a victory lap: The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change released its own report, Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science. Packed with 1,000 pages of peer-reviewed literature — and then peer-reviewed again by NIPCC’s team of some 50 scientists from around the world — Climate Change Reconsidered II comes to the conclusions the United Nations is only now and reluctantly admitting.
The NIPCC report concludes that human impact on climate is very modest, especially when compared to natural cycles. Future warming due to human greenhouse gases is likely to be only 1-2 degrees Celsius, and be a boon for flora and fauna alike.
Higher levels of carbon dioxide will not cause weather to become more extreme, seas level rise isn’t accelerating and polar ice caps aren’t melting at alarming rates.
Global warming isn’t the crisis many people said it was a few years ago. That’s bad news for the IPCC and the many environmental groups and politicians that hooked their wagon to it. But it’s good news for the rest of us.Jim Lakely (jlakely@heartland.org) is director of communications at The Heartland Institute, which published Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science on behalf of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change.

The alarmism will continue long after the facts fail them. There is too much money to be made.
I sure wish they would stop approving windfarms and subsidies to support them.
Add Solar farms to that wish.
Exactly my first thought before I even clicked onto the article. Always follow the money, twice on Sunday if politics are involved.
It all started with Thatcher back in 1979.
Global Warming: How It All Began

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls our climates.
3. The earth is a rock.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Oh I wish! - This garbage will stay in the collective consciousness and in already passed legislation especially in local government for many years to come. 15 years is a drop in an ocean compared to the age of the planet but so was their hypothesis so clearly they will not give up their precious climate change yet! The current warm spring down here in Australia has all the greenies running around with tea cosy’s on their heads waving their arms and yelling “Climate Change”. The reality is that it is warm early this year but only compared to an average not compared to other early warm Springs!
...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...
....to increase it's magnetic field....
and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....
(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.
The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.
Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.

Exactly.
This guy has the truth - watch it every morning:

I suggest everyone do the same if you want the truth - that being - the big ass star out there called the sun - creates the climate on Earth - and it pull the plates for earthquakes — hell any Start Trek geek knows this...excuse me - I have to go to dinner with Mr. Spook now...
Although the low/no information 47% obozo worshipers never will catch on, thank God the truth is slowly emerging through the iron curtain of the grant money whores in the so-called "scientific community". East Anglia was the breakthrough and more is coming out all the time.
Let me wrap by saying that Algore should not be serving drinks to fellow libturds in his palatial California mansion: He should be SERVING TIME!!!
You got that right — I was at a conference on commercial refrigeration. CO2 emissions and climate change was a working presupposition. It’s profitable to create PRODUCT CHURN by ratcheting up energy efficiency standards — and of course, regulating/penalizing utility CO2 emissions to hike electricity costs — as incentives to buying more “energy-efficient” dairy cases, walk-in freezers, etc.
Meanwhile we’re tearing out existing dams at an alarming rate and they’re a real proven source of “green” energy.
Yep. Money and control.
Someone should send this report to the black robbed tyrants at the Supreme Court; the same evil tyrants that stated CO2 is a pollutant.
The EPA, the RATs and most RINOs believe in the fraud of AGW.
It will be a very long time before the government lets go of this control mechanism.
Fraud by government and in this case by multiple governments is never punished like fraud by an individual such as Bernie Madoff. Why do you think people go into government? Lack of accountability, that’s why. Mostly.
Thanks!
