The absurdity grows:
The United Nations’ expert panel on climate change based claims about ice disappearing from the world’s mountain tops on a student’s dissertation and an article in a mountaineering magazine…
…In its most recent report, it stated that observed reductions in mountain ice in the Andes, Alps and Africa was being caused by global warming, citing two papers as the source of the information.
However, it can be revealed that one of the sources quoted was a feature article published in a popular magazine for climbers which was based on anecdotal evidence from mountaineers about the changes they were witnessing on the mountainsides around them.
The other was a dissertation written by a geography student, studying for the equivalent of a master’s degree, at the University of Berne in Switzerland that quoted interviews with mountain guides in the Alps.
The revelations, uncovered by The Sunday Telegraph, have raised fresh questions about the quality of the information contained in the report, which was published in 2007.
The data has been fake, at times and now it seems that some of the “data” was akin to “stuff I overheard at a party”.
As I’ve said before – people need to go to jail over this. Vast sums of money have been spent and a few con artists have made out like bandits – and all for a completely idiotic theory ginned up by people who wanted to scare us in to socialism. Enough is enough.
UPDATE: And now the global warming claims about damage to the rain forest are coming up bogus.
