The IPCC consensus on climate change was phoney, says IPCC insider

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change misled the press and public into believing that thousands of scientists backed its claims on manmade global warming, according to Mike Hulme, a prominent climate scientist and IPCC insider. The actual number of scientists who backed that claim was “only a few dozen experts,” he states in a paper for Progress in Physical Geography, co-authored with student Martin Mahony.

“Claims such as ‘2,500 of the world’s leading scientists have reached a consensus that human activities are having a significant influence on the climate’ are disingenuous,” the paper states unambiguously, adding that they rendered “the IPCC vulnerable to outside criticism.”

Hulme, Professor of Climate Change in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia – the university of Climategate fame — is the founding Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and one of the UK’s most prominent climate scientists. Among his many roles in the climate change establishment, Hilme was the IPCC’s co-ordinating Lead Author for its chapter on ‘Climate scenario development’ for its Third Assessment Report and a contributing author of several other chapters.

Bernie Madoff was a beginner compared to these guys. The ultimate in insider trading.

I bet this guy could tell some real stories about his erstwhile "colleague" Phil Jones of "hide the decline" fame.

.The sad part is that the IPCC has been known to have cooked the reports right from the first. No one in the whorehouse media had the integrity to blow the whistle even though the fraud has been public knowledge for years.

“Bernie Madoff was a beginner compared to these guys. The ultimate in insider trading.”

Are you saying they’re as good as Goldman-Sachs?

Beam me to Planet Gore !

The Competitive Enterprise Institute will bestow the Julian Simon Award on Steve McIntyre and Ross McKitrick for their efforts in debunking Mann's hockey stick at CEI's 2010 Dinner, June 17 at Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill 400 New Jersey Ave. NW Washington, DC 20001.

[Tarpon]

I don’t see why the Botoxers of the world don’t go on a quest to find Al Gore’s CO2 blanket. After so many have failed, you would think success was just around the corner.

BTW, did you know that if you take the roof off a greenhouse it no longer is a greenhouse. Silly that.

"No one in the whorehouse media had the integrity to blow the whistle even though the fraud has been public knowledge for years."

Are you kidding? There aren't three of them who could grasp the math that exposed the hockey stick bs...

[Former Proud Canadian]

I’m shocked at these revelations.

In the following video, The Great Global Warming Swindle, you will see one of those scientists who originally had his name on the IPCC report and tried to get his name removed (because they misrepresented what he was saying). He had to threaten to sue them before they would remove his name.

AND so ..., it’s one thing to gripe and complain about these things and disagree with it, but it’s quite another to convince your friends and neighbors and relatives and coworkers...

THEREFORE..., it’s also absolutely necessary for people to know the information in the following documentary. If there were simply one video that you could see and/or show people you know... this would be the one...

The following is an excellent video documentary on the so-called “Global Warming” I would recommend it to all FReepers. It’s a very well-made documentary.

[this one is considerably lower quality, is a flash video and viewable online, of course..., and also, you can download flash video on a website either yourself or some software doing it.]

Buy it on DVD here...
[this would be the very highest quality version, on a DVD disk, of several gigabytes in size...] At Amazon, it seems to be high-priced now and have only a few copies right now.

At WAGtv (a UK shop), but don't know about shipping. The price is reasonable, though.

Exactly...there is as much evidence to convict these guys as some of the “Big Tobacco” execs that had to do the perp walk...

[rbg81]

But....Ted Danson assured us that the world only has 10 more years left. Oh, wait, that was back in 1995.

They ARE Goldman Sachs. Who do you think would benefit most from carbon trading?

“They ARE Goldman Sachs.”

I think they are the shills for GS.

You can almost know me over with a feather with this news... Who would’a thunk the IPCC lied?
