IPCC didn't research Amazon climate change
The Times of India ^ | Jan 26, 2010 | The Times of India

An article in Britian's daily 'Telegraph' has made another damning case against Pachauri's IPCC on the effects of climate change on the Amazon.

The report suggests the IPCC did not research the claims themselves. It says the claims were lifted off a report done by the WWF, an advocacy group.

The WWF are particularity nasty liars. They have a polar bear commercial on TV with (I think) Noah Wylie going on how they are under threat of extinction from Global Warming. They lie even though this has been debunked and polar bear populations are up

Don't forget hurricane-gate. The IPCC quoted the then-unpublished work of an author who has since repudiated the IPCC's claim.

Andrew Neill has a good summation of the IPCC mess to date at his blog at the BBC (of all places).

The dam is cracking

What happened to all that “peer-reviewed” and “robust” garbage? =.=

Yeah, that'd be the World Wildlife Fund, the people who sued to get their acronym back from the World Wrestling Federation. Turns out they were faking it worse than the Perfessional Rasslers. You know your credibility is really, really shot when Vince McMahon doesn't want his letters back.

Your brush is far too broad. The vast majority of scientists -- and science -- are still honorable and reputable. You owe the rest of us scientists a public apololgy.

Actually, my brush was also too broad. It is only a disreputable minority of climate scientists who are behaving dishonorably.

“Your brush is far too broad. The vast majority of scientists — and science — are still honorable and reputable. You owe the rest of us scientists a public apololgy.”

I don’t agree. There’s too much of using science to defend a preconceived notion today. It looks as though the cart is in front of the horse.
