Climate scientists admit fresh error over data on rising sea levels

This IS a criminal enterprise, designed to rob us of our money, our freedoms, our way of life and to send us into a form of slavery to the state, which is fast occurring. I think the time of yapping is about over...

Indict the liars, prosecute and send them to prison.

I just did an easy search with Google on Global Warming...this was on the top of the stack,..but there seems to be much more that are current stories....

If IPCC admits this...then the US Media may feel they have to start reporting on these revelations...

I'll do some more looking.

Let us hope zero and his henchmen/women are getting a clear message the gig is up. And let the trial lawyers and judges be sought out to not cloud the grave criminal offenses that have been for so long cleverly carried out in the interest of making money. This is in every respect just as criminal as the AIG branch that created so many valueless credit swaps and other certificates of securities along with the Goldman Sachs of the world.

The lies and exaggerations are merely an honest attempt to help the little people to understand.

"We do not over-egg the pudding when it comes to the evidence about global warming – and I hope people will now appreciate this point," said Alan Thorpe, head of the Natural Environment Research Council.

Sure you do, Alan, and finding out ONE quote was wrong does not change the fact that you, and folks like you, have been LYING for years about human activity being a major cause of Global Warming.

I’ve been arguing with this eco-nut Leftist pagan retired woman who worships Mother Earth. She really thinks the record snowfall in Dallas was caused by AGW. She goes by the handle ‘patriotgirl65’. I’m tired of arguing with her because she doesn’t want to debate the facts, but simply call people names and be quite hateful. Some one else pick up the ball and give her a whirl.

They are actually measuring natural soil compaction, not sea level rise.

[Upstate NY Guy]

Uhhh, many of the skeptics are scientists, including me.

Of course. Science is skepticism, the rigor of peer review, scrutiny, providing evidence, testing, retesting.

Until they can prove otherwise AGM stands as a fraud.

[Upstate NY Guy]

correction: AGW stands as a fraud.

[TigersEye]

AGM = Al Gore's Mind

It's still a fraud.

[hsalaw]

Did they get ANYTHING right?

[aruanan]

"The sea-level statistic was used for background information only, and the updated information remains consistent with the overall conclusions," the IPCC note states. Nevertheless, the admission is likely to intensify claims by sceptics that the IPCC work is riddled with sloppiness.

The IPCC is to science what Eddie Haskell is to Ward Cleaver.

It is hard to tell....

Nite all!

"Very seriously, ladies and gentlemen, this global warming hoax, this climate change stuff borders on criminal corruption, criminal political corruption. You think of all of the billions that have been spent ostensibly to protect things and people from global warming, and it's all been a scam, nothing more than a huge transfer of wealth. It is a giant scam. It is political corruption, what has happened. It's funny to listen to these people make fools of themselves and I love doing it, and it's not very hard. Just play their own words. I just got a note from a good friend: "Way to go, Rush, very smooth. You made 'em look foolish." I replied: "Easy. They are." But they're also dangerous. This is political criminal corruption, what is happening here, and just as they have ensnared the media to provide all kinds of propaganda for all the other political corruption that comes from liberalism, the Democrat Party, et al, they're doing it in global warming as well. Think of the money that need not have been spent on any of this. It's getting crazier and crazier."

A nearly 3-mile high (4600 meters) volcano about 200 miles west of Indonesia was found last summer. Its peak is less than a mile below the surface. Scientists have no idea if it was there for a long time or grew recently or is still growing.

If a new underwater volcano, as tall as Mont Blanc, grew in a short period of time, would it raise sea levels?
