Dutch Agency Admits Mistakes In UN Climate Report
Hugh Pickens writes "The AP reports that the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency has taken the blame for one of the glaring errors that undermined the credibility of a seminal, 3,000-page UN report last year on climate change, and disclosed that it had discovered more small mistakes. However, the review by the agency also claims that none of the errors affected the fundamental conclusion by a UN panel of scientists: that global warming caused by humans already is happening and is threatening the lives and well-being of millions of people. The Dutch agency reported in 2005 that 55 percent of the Netherlands is below sea level, when only 26 percent is. The second previously reported error claimed the Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035, which the Dutch agency partly traced to a report on the likely shrinking of glaciers by the year 2350. The original report also said global warming will put 75 million to 250 million Africans at risk of severe water shortages in the next 10 years, but a recalculation showed that range should be 90 million to 220 million. The analysis said future IPCC reports should have a more robust review process, and should look more closely at where information comes from."
Erm I kinda like having my computer with its internet connection.
Oh wait. Wind and solar power cant produce enough power to keep them going?
Bye bye internet. Do you realise how much power Google uses alone?
Remember that these idiots are wanting to ditch coal power, refuse to use nuclear (wtf?) and if everyone cant power their lives off a small pinwheel then your being wasteful.
erm.... what about actually ANSWERING what was put to you earlier and you dodged it eh?
what about the CRU leaks that showed , without a shadow of a doubt the sheer scalke of the gaming of the numbers and the sheer scale of the collusion in that? ANSWER IT DON'T DODGE IT!!
also what do YOU mr cyberax have to say to the fact that global warming thery is at odds with the laws of thermodynamics???
full report here in pdf
so cyberax answer those two points....... save me the preachy bollocks and just answer PROPERLY that which is put to you
"All this means is that scientists are in fact humans and make small errors just like everyone else."
Small errors? Really?
Funny, I didn't see any small errors, only GINOURMOUS ones.
Like the glaciers are retreating off the Himalayas and will be gone very soon.
Categorically incorrect.
If they were just small errors, why did the leader (Phil Jones) of the whole kabal have to resign his post if it was just small errors?

Oh and then there is this LITTLE issue of dozens of researchers working together in private world wide suppressing information, threatening colleagues and individuals who do not tow the line on _man made_ _climate_ _change_ outlined in the leaked Emails under the UN report sponsored by Mr. Jones?
I guess that is a really leeeetle inconvenient truth too eh?
Yeah that is a small issue I suppose.
I suppose it is just a coincidence that Al Gore and his Peace Prize buddies that do all that touring around telling everyone they have to "buy into carbon credits" as quickly as possible using the same Madoff like ripoff assured plan modeled after CDO's and other crap that have robbed the masses of trillions, is partner in one of these scams.

I could sit here and type for hours about how F'ed up this whole climate research crapola, and that is exactly what it is, CRAPOLA.
But I can assure you all, it has _nothing_ to do with climate change. These people have no intentions of doing anything about the climate unless of course they can make a huge amount of money.
When are people going to wake up and see that the real scientists who are actually doing the foot work to understand how our planet endures climate change now, and in the past are the very ones not being listened to and are on Phil Jones and Co Sh*t List in those Emails.

Got Geometrodynamics? Awe, too hard to figure out? Too bad.
You are so full of shit.
In southern CA, where I grew up, you had to hide down a path at least 30 feet to even get to the beach. Then, it was at least another six foot drop from the beginning of the beach to the water line.
When Fascism comes to America, it will call itself Anti-Fascism, and tell you to give up your guns.
What a bunch of pathetic greenies you all are.
Global warming/climate change is a surrogate religion. Read the Club of Rome report that kickstarted this all. All of you are pathetic acolytes without you even knowing it.
Keep up the brainwashing, social conditioning and thinking you're smart when you're fucking dumb.
As I said, parroting denialist talking points.
Clever signature text goes here.
