Climate Change: The United
Nations' global warming panel is writing up a report from its most recent
meeting. Are we doomed? Hardly. From the looks of leaked drafts, it appears the
U.N. has at last discovered reality.
As it's done many times before, the
U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change met in November to assess the
threat of man-made global warming. And now it's working on a report intended to
scare the masses into believing that humans are burning up their world. We
don't doubt that the final version of the IPCC's fifth report due next year
will indeed make the usual attempt to frighten everyone. But for now those who
trade in global warming alarmism are having to smooth out a troublesome bump in
the report's draft.
Skeptic Alec Rawls, who signed on as a
reviewer, leaked a passage from the draft that indicates the IPCC is actually
admitting that a factor outside man's activities is playing a significant role
in our climate."That sentence is an astounding bit of honesty," says
Rawls, "a killing admission that completely undercuts the main premise and
the main conclusion of the full report, revealing the fundamental dishonesty of
the whole."
The contradictory passage Rawls is
referring to goes like this:"The forcing from changes in total solar
irradiance alone does not seem to account for these observations, implying the
existence of an amplifying mechanism such as the hypothesized GCR-cloud link.
We focus here on observed relationships between GCR and aerosol and cloud
properties."In other words, galactic cosmic rays (GCR) are related to
cloud and aerosol formation, which affects temperatures.
This activity has been demonstrated in
an experiment by scientists at Aarhus University in Denmark. The Rawls leak is
getting a fair amount of attention, particularly from alarmists, who contend it
means nothing, and the IPCC, which in essence says, "Hey, it's just a
draft and that passage might not appear in the final report anyway."Which
is typical for the IPCC, given its habit of removing findings and passages from
final reports that cast doubt on its speculation that man is to blame for
warming the planet.
While the IPCC works overtime to spin
the Rawls leak, another headache has emerged for the group. Figure 1.4 from the
draft shows that the models used to predict warming have projected temperatures
higher than the observed temperatures we've seen.
The chart also shows that observed
temperatures, rather than climbing ever upward, are where they were 15 years
ago. Skeptic Anthony Watts calls the chart a bombshell. The media have yawned.
Meanwhile, another reviewer is pointing out that the draft is omitting a study
that found no change in global water vapor even though the alarmists predicted
that it would increase as carbon dioxide emissions climbed.
Yet again, the IPCC shows it's not
interested in scientific inquiry but rather politics that serve one group while
countering another. Like so much of the U.N., it has nothing useful to offer.

The U.S. government has been spending 1 $trillion a year that we don’t
have, to implement Agenda 21 to mitigate “global warming”. This has been going on since 2009. This is a
hoax. Our federal government is corrupt and has corrupted our state and local
governments with squander-grants to waste on this hoax. By 2016, we will have
spent $8 trillion we don’t have on this.
The money we printed to pay for this will destroy the dollar. Merry Christmas.
