Email-gate, round 2

Remember when all the world was freaking out over the hockey-stick?  Well, seems now the hockey-stick was never anything to worry about.  It was contrived, to put it nicely.

Now, we have Himalayagate:

A WARNING that climate change will melt most of the Himalayan glaciers by 2035 is likely to be retracted after a series of scientific blunders by the United Nations body that issued it.

Two years ago the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a benchmark report that was claimed to incorporate the latest and most detailed research into the impact of global warming. A central claim was the world’s glaciers were melting so fast that those in the Himalayas could vanish by 2035.

In the past few days the scientists behind the warning have admitted that it was based on a news story in the New Scientist, a popular science journal, published eight years before the IPCC’s 2007 report.

It has also emerged that the New Scientist report was itself based on a short telephone interview with Syed Hasnain, a little-known Indian scientist then based at Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi.

Hasnain has since admitted that the claim was “speculation” and was not supported by any formal research. If confirmed it would be one of the most serious failures yet seen in climate research. The IPCC was set up precisely to ensure that world leaders had the best possible scientific advice on climate change.

That’s right, the IPCC printed a “finding” that was based on no science at all.  None.  Nada.  Remember, these are the Novel Peace Prize guys.  It was this “research” that led to groups like Greenpeace to put stuff like this on the internet:

Which of course led Al Gore to give speeches about the melting ice:

Which of course, led to the Nobel Peace Prize people to give him an award as well.

But, it’s all wrong. And, the IPCC never, ever, had any evidence to say it was ever even occurring in the first place.

And not one single academia questioned it.

That was Al Gore at the COP15 meetings that resulted in nothing being accomplished even though Obama insisted SOMETHING, anything, be done. Fortunately nothing was. Danny Glover now thinks them doing nothing in Denmark resulted in the Haiti earthquake. I’m sure he’ll get a Nobel for that too.
