Excerpt: UN climate body in panic mode as satellite temperatures turn down and a hard winter lashes both hemispheres [...]
The IPCC’s 2007 final Summary for Policymakers shows that the climate alarmists are at last on the run. Their evidence for dangerous, human-caused global warming, always slim, now lies exposed in tatters for all to see. In contrast, the alternative, persuasive and non-alarmist view of climate change is well summarized in two recently issued and readily available documents.
The first is a letter to the Secretary General of the United Nations [...]
The second is the Manhattan Declaration on Climate Change. [...]
The evidence for dangerous global warming adduced by the IPCC has never been strong on empirical science. Endless circumstantial scare campaigns have been run about melting glaciers, more droughts and storms and floods, sea-level rise and polar bears, but all founder on one inescapable problem – as does Mr. Al Gore’s over-hyped science fiction film. And that is that we live on a naturally variable planet. [...]
Stuck with the absence of empirical evidence for dangerous warming or abnormal change, in 2001 the IPCC turned to graphmanship, giving prominence in its 3AR to the so-called “hockey-stick” record of temperature over the last 1000 years. The hockey-stick graphic, which appeared to show dramatic increases of temperature during the 20th century compared with earlier times, has now been exposed as statistical chicanery and, thankfully, is nowhere to be seen in the 4AR.
No hockey-stick and no empirical evidence, what is a man to do? Well, obviously, turn to virtual reality rather than real reality: PlayStation 4 here we come.

Now, SuziQ, you mustn't make these type of accusations against the IPCC or the all powerful Algoricle.
The "science" is settled, the "discussion" is over; we must embrace them and their religion, er, make that science, in order to save the polar bears, and ourselves....
The great and powerful Algoricle has decreed it....
