Fire in the Amazon, it turns out, was not a 'report' or a scientific paper but, as the WWF now acknowledges, a text published by IPAM? on its website in 1999 Last week, after six months of evasions, obfuscation, denials and retractions, a story which has preoccupied this column on and off since January came to a startling conclusion. It turns out that one of the most widely publicised statements in the 2007 report of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – a claim on which tens of billions of dollars could hang – was not based on peer-reviewed science, as repeatedly claimed, but originated solely from anonymous propaganda published on the website of a small Brazilian environmental advocacy group.
[snip] Although the REDD scheme was approved in principle at December’s UN Copenhagen conference, two serious snags remain. First, it has yet to be approved in detail (although they still hope to achieve this in Cancun later this year). Second, the US Senate still hasn’t passed its cap and trade bill, which would open up a lucrative new market for anyone involved in carbon trading, such as those with a stake in REDD.

Equally unhappy may be all those global warming enthusiasts who took this climbdown as licence to crow shamelessly over those of us who, last January, helped to expose Amazongate as a major IPCC system failure. The IPCC, they chorused, had been totally vindicated, the climate change sceptics had been utterly routed. Today, I fear, it is they who have been put to rout and we who have been vindicated.

If evidence counts for anything, we should be able to stop Cap&Trade, one of the lynchpins of this larceny.
For your lists.
I'm a little surprise the World Wrestling Federation is mixed up with these corrupt and untrustworthy "global warming" scammers. They are really lowering themselves. I thought WWF wrestlers were better than this. Oh well.
Interesting. I wonder how the cap-n-trade crowd will position this. Although, with their loyal MSM, the story will probably never get out.
Does FOX NEWS and Glenn Beck have this story?
Can you imagine what we would be doing right now without them?
(OR FREE REPUBLIC!! DONATE NOW)
Amazongate proven: IPCC based their claim of rainforest sensitivity on a “probably” sentence......
Good question. How does one send a news tip to FOX or Glenn Beck? Anybody know? Is there a website tip line?
