The Global Warming Experts Of The United Nations

Do you still think that an organization like the United Nations is a leading scientific authority on climate change and global warming? If recent discoveries have not convinced you otherwise than you really do not have an open mind on the subject of man-made global warming.
Lets look at the scientific basis that the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change (IPCC) used to conclude that global warming was creating melting ice in the Alps, Andes and Africa. In its latest recent report in 2007, the IPCC stated that observed reductions in mountain ice was being caused by global warming, citing two papers as the source of the information.
In fact, the claims about disappearing mountain ice were contained within a table entitled “Selected observed effects due to changes in the cryosphere produced by warming”. It states that reductions in mountain ice have been observed from the loss of ice climbs in the Andes, Alps and in Africa between 1900 and 2000.
Of course, without looking at the scientific evidence or examining the sources in detail, an independent person might think that the conclusions of the IPCC in 2007 were based on exhaustive scientific research and time consuming analysis.
However, that premise was completely destroyed in a recent article writtten by By Richard Gray, and Rebecca Lefort, of the UK Telegraph. They have discovered that one of the sources quoted was a feature article published in a popular magazine for climbers which was based on anecdotal evidence from mountaineers about the changes they were witnessing on the mountainsides around them.
The other was a dissertation written by a geography student, studying for the equivalent of a master’s degree, at the University of Berne in Switzerland that quoted interviews with mountain guides in the Alps. These revelations, uncovered by The Sunday Telegraph, have raised fresh questions about the quality of the information contained in the IPCC report, which was published in 2007.
Professor Richard Tol, one of the report’s authors who is based at the Economic and Social Research Institute in Dublin, Ireland, said: “These are essentially a collection of anecdotes. Why did they do this? It is quite astounding.
Although there have probably been no policy decisions made on the basis of this, it is illustrative of how sloppy Working Group Two (the panel of experts within the IPCC responsible for drawing up this section of the report) has been. There is no way current climbers and mountain guides can give anecdotal evidence back to the 1900s, so what they claim is complete nonsense.”
The IPCC has faced criticism over other sources it used in its last report published in 2007, after it disclosed that the panel had used unsubstantiated figures on glacial melting in the Himalayas that were contained within a World Wildlife Fund report. The glaciers were reported to melt in 2030, three hundred years earlier than any source data would suggest.
The International climate change hoax continues to unravel. The global warming experts at the U.N. (IPCC) are primarily made up of career bureaucrats not climate scientists and their goal is a political redistribution of global wealth.
So, take any claim of a future natural disaster from man-made global warming with true skepticism and keep one hand firmly placed over your wallet.
