U.N Climate Change Panel Fail Again

Monday, February 15th, 2010

Ok so apparently this time the United Nations Climate Panel has been called out over exactly how much of the Netherlands is below sea level.

The panel claimed 55%, apparently the actual figure is in the mid to high 20′s.

Last month they were apologising for something else.

“The panel expressed regret last month after admitting that the 2007 report exaggerated the pace of melt of the Himalayan glaciers, which feed rivers from China to India in dry seasons, in a sentence that said they could all vanish by 2035.”

I can only imagine an inflated figure would allow them to ‘crank up the devastation’ figures if sea level rises, thus adding more impact to their argument.

As you would expect, they claim this inaccuracy does nothing to invalidate their core argument as this was just ‘background information’.

Honestly, I’m more of a hippy than most. I walk to get my groceries more often than not, I grow herbs and vegetables on the deck of my tiny inner city apartment. Needless to say that even if global warming is BS, I’d personally like to see some positive environmental change happening. It has started happening already and that’s great.

As far as the media has led us to believe this climate panel are championing the ‘planet saving’ cause. Yet they remind me more of standard 1 science fair entrants than grown up scientists. (I’m talking about the kids in the early 90′s who didn’t have their parents knock their experiments into shape, mine were always pretty decent, thanks Dad)

I personally know two scientists who wouldn’t stand for this sort of carry-on.

(If these two charming faces don’t ring any bells, I suggest you study up)

You can now download C&C classics as freeware from the EA site for anyone who didn’t realise.

That includes: Tiberian Dawn 95 (C&C1, the original), Red Alert and Tiberian Sun.

I’m currently pulling them down at 1.7MB/s – so they’re sitting on a server with a respectible sized pipe (Internet, series of tubes etc).

Here they are
