You can be forgiven for not noticing that the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
released a summary of its Fifth Assessment Report late last month.The report landed with a thud, criticized and even mocked by many leading climate scientists. The distinguished science journal Nature editorialized that this should be the last report issued by the UN body.
This is just the latest signal that the age of climate alarmism is over. Given five tries to convince the world that human activity is causing catastrophic warming of the planet, runaway sea-level rise and various weather disasters, the public still doesn’t buy it.
We’re all skeptics now because the science simply does not back up the hypothesis. For starters, there’s been no rise in global temperatures for 15 years.
The IPCC’s Fifth Assessment
Report concedes for the first time that global temperatures have not risen since 1998, despite a 7 percent rise in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions.To put that into perspective, global human CO2 emissions in the last 15 years represent about one-third of all human CO2 emissions since the start
of the Industrial Revolution, and yet temperatures didn’t budge.Nearly all of the UN-approved climate computer models were wrong. The IPCC finally admitted as much.
The IPCC also admits that the “hockey stick” it used to feature in past reports wasn’t accurate. Penn State professor Michael Mann has been dining out for years on his infamous “hockey stick,” a dread graph featured by Al Gore in his Oscar-winning documentary “An Inconvenient Truth.”
The graph looked so dramatic — like a hockey stick — only because it ignored the Medieval Warm Period, a time about a thousand years ago when temperatures were warmer than today — when wine grapes grew in England and Greenland was green.
The “hockey stick” is missing from the Fifth Assessment
Report, and the IPCC admits the Medieval Warm Period was warmer and more global than it claimed in the past.A third major admission by the IPCC: No increases in droughts, hurricanes, typhoons and other extreme weather. Every time severe weather hits the United States, you could count on IPCC-related scientists, professional climate alarmists and the media to attribute it all to man-made global warming. No more.
The latest IPCC report admits to having “low confidence” in predictions of more frequent or more extreme droughts and tropical cyclones.
While the IPCC is taking its lumps for being wrong on these and other matters, a new kid on the block of climate science is taking a victory lap: The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change released its own report, Climate Change Reconsidered II: Physical Science. Packed with 1,000 pages of peer-reviewed literature — and then peer-reviewed again
by NIPCC’s team of some 50 scientists from around the world — Climate Change Reconsidered II comes to the conclusions the United Nations is only now and reluctantly admitting.The NIPCC report concludes that human impact on climate is very modest, especially when compared to natural cycles. Future warming due to human greenhouse gases is likely to be only 1-2 degrees Celsius, and be a boon for flora and fauna alike.
Higher levels of carbon dioxide will not cause weather to become more extreme, sea-level rise isn’t accelerating and polar ice caps aren’t melting at alarming rates.
Global warming isn’t the crisis many people said it was a few years ago. That’s bad news for the IPCC and the many environmental groups and politicians that hooked their wagon to it. But it’s good news for the rest of us.

That's why I'm willing to give a resounding attaboy to the enviros, say job well done in the First World, now on to the big polluters. They should open offices in Bejing and save the Third World from pollution.
Sorry Pete - I don't buy it. As I said before, the science is overwhelmingly in support of us having an effect on climate, despite the protestations of organisations like the NIPCC (who are, incidentally, sponsored by the Heartland Institute who are, in turn, funded by Exxon and Philip Morris, among others). Terry and Keith asked earlier about the funding that climate scientists seek and wondered whether or not it was a gravy train of some sort. I've come from the field of university research and am now in consulting. The money businesses or industry can throw at research they think is worthwhile dwarfs anything government agencies or the universities have to offer. So who do you suppose is the more likely to following a particular agenda?

Brian I continue to be astounded by people who have only been on the planet a nano second, believing that they can affect the weather.
If you want to rail against pollution I am with you all the way.
I'll tell what affects the weather most, it is the big bright thing that rises in the east and sets in the west.

Sorry Jim, I was speaking cosmically, globally, universally. Hunting a species to extinction is different completely, to exterminating planets, or changing orbits or merely altering weather patterns.
Many animal species are capable of driving other species to extinctiion, or near extinction. Not just Man.
Ever seen a Fox in a Hen House? He doesn't just take what he needs to fill his belly, or the bellies of his cubs you know.
Different things my man. Different things.
With ya Pete me ole mucker. I totally support a cleaner, less polluting lifestyle, echoing Bob, it's TIME FOR THE LEFTIES TO SHIFT THEIR FOCUS ONTO THE THIRD WORLD folks.
Keep it real everyone.
They should do a study that suggests polluting your environment will make your cock fall off. That's about the only scare tactic that will work over there. Tell them to clean up their act or the Planet will die, is not going to cut the mustard in the East. Why? Because they're all from another planet anyway, so why would they care? I mean, they don't even look like us!
(BTW, incase our PC leftie yoghurt-knitters get offended by the closing sentences of the above; IT WAS A JOKE MOFO'S, get over it)

The left has mastered the boycott. Just get all their sub genres to think that certain Third World countries not only disproportionately pollute the world but hate their particular brand of perversion and the earth will begin to heal, the oceans will start to lower, and,,,,,, no B.O. promised that one already. Never mind.
That reminds me of the so-called Animal Rights crew who released 50,000 mink into the countryside near here. Carnage. A Mink makes our own domestic fox look like Basil Brush by comparison. Unfortunately none of the estimated 1/2 million animal wildlife casualties thus caused seemed to have any rights. Nasty little buggers. - I'd like to add them to the extinct list.
I don't think this will work. If you've ever driven in India for example, you'll know why.
Ha. Don't know why you are astounded Pete. People believe all sorts of sh*t, often based on far less evidence than exists for climate change...

Haha, that is one thing we can agree on for sure:thumbsup:
That might end up a home goal as most of the pollution emitted from the east is a result of industry that supplies western goods.

Spot on Peek-ford. Nailed it (again).
Edit: Peek-ford is my iPad's interpretation via the infamous spellchecker. It's official mate.
