Climate report error concerns ministerWednesday 27 January 2010 A mistake about melting glaciers in the last report by the international climate change body IPCC is 'extremely worrying', environment minister Jacqueline Cramer is quoted as saying by the Volkskrant on Wednesday. The 2007 report includes a claim that the Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 but that now appears to have been based on miscalculations dating back to 1999. And one scientist has admitted the fact was included to put political pressure on world leaders to take action. 'As a politician, I base myself on science,' the minister said. 'This hurts my trust in the IPCC.' The minister said she wanted the IPCC to find out how the mistake occured. 'I want to know how this procedural error happened. Are there more mistakes? We need clarity very quickly to remove any doubts.' Climate change sceptics have seized on the mistake on one page of the 3,000-page report as a sign of sloppy work, the Volkskrant says. © DutchNews.nl
As long as idiots have the reign of powers they will continue to do the same thing over and over. Electricity, and compressed air can bring people from A to B with less than 100 kilo of material per person. To carry 1000+ kilo of steel and plastic (Automobile) around one to get from A to B is idiotic. As long as nobody seems to see this the misery will only grow. By Captain Zen | January 27, 2010 9:29 PM these mistakes are very worrying for politicians. They need to keep scaring us to justify the taxes and restrictions in the name of climate change By Mark | January 28, 2010 10:35 AM The MSM is still going on about the 2035 'error' being of recent discovery (by, say, Prof. Cogley). The truth is much more devastating. It was known YEARS BEFORE the 2007 IPCC report that Hasnain's 2035 figure was fiction. It had been exposed as a myth and utter nonsense by one of the most highly respected experts on the Himalayan mountains, Jack Ives, in 2004, and in a peer-reviewed article in 2005. There is no doubt that those who compiled the IPCC AR4 report knew that 2035 was a lie.

What difference does it make whether we are drowned by glaciers or asphyxiated by the filthy air? Who cares if they call it climate change or not? The fact remains we have to cut down on the pollution that is hovering low over us. Those pretty orange sunsets are not nature’s doing. Today on the news they told of the high “fine stof alarms” and that drivers have to keep the speed at 90 kph. They also said that these alarms are more frequent than usual. If we keep poisoning ourselves this way we won’t be here to watch the Himalayan glaciers melt. It’s time for everyone to not only think green, but put it to practice in a big way.
