Really Inconvenient Truths
Um, about that whole climate change thing and how mankind is doomed to early extinction? Nevermind. Sorry about the confusion; totally our bad. This from the UK Express:
THE world’s leading climate change body has been accused of losing credibility after a damning report into its research practices.
A high-level inquiry into the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found there was “little evidence” for its claims about global warming.
It also said the panel had emphasised the negative impacts of climate change and made “substantive findings” based on little proof.
The review by the InterAcademy Council (IAC) was launched after the IPCC’s hugely embarrassing 2007 benchmark climate change report, which contained exaggerated and false claims that Himalayan glaciers could melt by 2035.
….
The panel was forced to admit its key claim in support of global warming was lifted from a 1999 magazine article. The report was based on an interview with a little-known Indian scientist who has since said his views were “speculation” and not backed by research.
…..
The IAC, which comprises the world’s top science academies including the UK’s Royal Society, made recommendations to the IPCC to “enhance its credibility and independence” after the Himalayan glaciers report, which severely damaged the reputation of climate science.
It condemned the panel – set up by the UN to ensure world leaders had the best scientific advice on climate change – for its “slow and inadequate response” after the damaging errors emerged.
Among the blunders in the 2007 report were claims that 55 per cent of the Netherlands was below sea level when the figure is 26 per cent.
It also claimed that water supplies for between 75 million and 250 million people in Africa will be at risk by 2020 due to climate change, but the real range is between 90 and 220 million.
The claim that glaciers would melt by 2035 was also rejected.
Wonder if Al Gore still gets to keep his Oscar and Nobel Prize?

The real problem is not warming but cooling. Cool wet weather, late spring frost and early fall frost has caused a disaster for wheat harvests in Canada and Russia. The food shortages are starting. Russia has banned all exports of wheat until after next years harvest. World prices for grain are spiking, up 70% since the first of the year and food riots are starting in the third world. This link from the Financial Times offers a frightening view if we really facing several decades or more of cooler temperatures as many solar and climate scientists believe. See the following:

thanks kim,that’s an important variable to consider.
if less food is in market play,what would be the possible economic consequences?higher prices?i think anyone who shops regularly has seen this in the past few months.
thank goodness the “wise ones” in the u.s.senate this very session are set to pass s.510 the “food safety modernization act”, a consolidation of corporatist food interests managed and supervised by globalist decrees from the united nations, providing less choice for the consumer and downright persecution of the individual entrepeneur.
what good fortune that n.c.’s own richard burr could help lead on such a well conceived plan to centralize access to an important commodity like food.
thank you richard burr,or should that be, thank you, may i have another?
simultaneously, lets thank the federal reserve for printing money at unprecedented levels.if inflation tax becomes truely oppressive, will we look back at today’s $1 value menus with nostalgic regret?i’m sure many folks have been subjected during holidays to tales of the nickel hershey bar and the nickel coke.what does a coke cost at a bobcats game anyway.$5.00?
if indeed the new reality becomes the $10 value menu,what price are the taxpayers of mecklenburg county really paying for that chick-fila sandwich and cup of cole slaw ,parks helms?
