More bad news today for the International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), as another of its extravangant ecopocalypse predictions, sourced from green campaigners, has been confirmed as bunk by scientists.
The UN body came under attack earlier this year for suggesting that 40 per cent of the Amazonian rainforests - dubbed the "lungs of the planet" by some for their ability to turn CO2 into oxygen, and also seen as vital on biodiversity grounds - might disappear imminently. This disaster would be triggered, according to the IPCC's assessment, by a relatively slight drop in rainfall of the sort to be expected in a warming world.
Unfortunately it now appears that just such conditions have already occurred, and in fact the Amazonian jungles were unaffected.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the baseless IPCC projection originated in a study produced in 2000 by hard-green* ecological campaigning group WWF, which was also implicated in the IPCC's equally invalid prediction that the glaciers of the Himalayas will all have melted within a generation from now.
According to the WWF report (pdf), which was not subject to scientific peer review - it was written by a freelance journalist and published by WWF itself - drying-up of forests will lead to runaway wildfires that will destroy the jungle and perhaps the entire planetary ecosystem. The document is full of terrifying phrases such as "the year the world caught fire". It warns of imminent doom caused by drought cycles

Never have I met BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH that wasn’t bunk.

"We found no big differences in the greenness level of these forests between drought and non-drought years," says Arindam Samanta of Boston university, lead author of the new study based on NASA's MODIS sat data.
“No, No, No!” said Hedley. “’It`s Guillible Warming’, Not ‘Global Warming!’— and take that gum out of your mouth!”
“Any ‘scientist’ who asserts with a straight face that increased warmth and increased carbon dioxide is detrimental to plant life ought to be laughed out of the business.”
Plants absorb carbon dioxide and give off oxygen.
Liberals give off gas.
What, another environmental hoax? Well bugger me!
So, the glaciers are not melting, the Antarctic sea ice was ‘underestimated’ by 50%, sea-level rise is not happening, and the Northern winter has been brrr the coldest in a lifetime.
What lies do they have Left?
Liberals are composed of 99% Stupidium, 1% unknown/other.

This damn organization is so rooted throughout the world it is going to be hard to defund and perhaps bring criminal charges against.
