U.N. climate panel chief: I won’t quit over error (The show must go on)
MSNBC ^ | 1/23/2010 | AP

The head of a panel of United Nations climate scientists said Saturday he would not resign despite a recent admission that a panel report warning Himalayan glaciers could be gone by 2035 was hundreds of years off.

The claim, made in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's voluminous, Nobel-winning report, came in a paragraph with several errors. Data indicates the ice could melt by 2350. The assertion went virtually unnoticed until The Sunday Times said the projection seemed to be based on a news report.

The scientists are investigating how the forecast got into the report and apologized Thursday for the mistakes, adding that they were not intentional. But the errors have opened the door for attacks from climate change skeptics.

The UN is made of primarily communist nations. Communists, Democrats, and lawyers lie because the end is more important than the means. The head of the UN climate panel has no shame. What else is new?

The "scientists" lie.
This incestuous group share fake data, "peer review" analyses and reports and conspire to keep real scientists out.
Then the chief of the entire conspiracy, gets millions while managing and controlling the output of the UN IPCC!

Can any conspiracy be more obvious?

"Peer review?"
Mistakes "creeping in?

You were warned about this error well before the document was published, but you did nothing to correct it.

Of course you won’t quit. You get a huge salary, unlimited staff, free travel wherever you want to go, and unlimited room and board in fancy hotels. And at least a quarter of that is paid for by American taxpayers.

Maggots never ‘quit’. They spawn and reproduce unless they’re exterminated.
