IPCC Chairman Reacts to Climate Change E-Mail Row

Dr Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has told BBC Radio 4’s – The Report program that the claims arising out of the leaked e-mails were serious and IPCC will investigate them as its top priority. However, he is also denying any possibility of a few scientists biasing the advice given to governments by the UN’s top global warming body.

“The processes in the IPCC are so robust, so inclusive, that even if an author or two has a particular bias it is completely unlikely that bias will find its way into the IPCC report,” Dr Pachauri said.

CNN FINALLY Reports ClimateGate — To Downplay It Of Course

It only took CNN six days to notice the growing international scandal known as Climategate, and when it finally reported on the matter, it predictably did so by downplaying the significance. Maybe even more embarrassing for the supposedly “Most Trusted Name In News,” Russia Today did a far better job of detailing what happened at Britain's Climate Research Unit and how the global warming debate is impacted by it.

Phi Beta Iota: This is either mass insanity or much more likely, money talking–the science is dishonest, the politics ignorant, the only ones who benefit are the ones who “bet” on putting climate change over. The Guardian is ignorant, unethical, or both.  The truth teller for us, apart from reading books Campbell Brown has no idea exists, is that Al Gore cancelled–he knows he cannot handle the heat (pun intended).  What fascinated us about CNN's “coverage” of the email-sparked scandal is their lack of reference to anything other than the emails–books, for instance.

Minor Note: Sir Richard Branson, previously very closely associated with Climate Change, has been utterly brilliant: Roll-out for Richard Branson's spaceliner simultaneously divorces him from the mess and reiterates his constant pioneering.  While he may still go to Copenhagen, we hope he will be mindful of the Secretary General's commissioning of an investigation into the fraud, and more mindful of the priorities established by the High Level Panel on Threats, Challenges, and Change–Climate Change is NOT in that list, it is a minor subordinate element of Threat #3, Environmental Degradation, which in turn if firmly placed AFTER Poverty and AFTER Infectious Disease.

NOTE: See  Strategic Analytic Model  to understand how seriously we take Environmental Degradation as priority three after Poverty and Infectious Disease.  All of these media commentators are uninformed entertainers who have not got the slightest clue about how to do whole systems analysis or true cost analysis, or any of it.  This is all a huge get rich scheme for Maurice Strong, his mini-me Al Gore, and the financiers that bet they could once again screw over the Third World and get away with it.

Phi Beta Iota: The media is being deliberately stupid. IPCC is not “the UN.” The UN Secretary General has opened an investigation and is accutely aware of both the crisis this fraud represents, and the opportunity for revisiting the Brahimi Report recommendations.

Climategate controversy has echoes of Watergate, UN says

The e-mails, which were sent over a 15-year period ending on November 12, first appeared on websites run by sceptics on November 17.

Sects, lies and climate-gate – Facts will not alter Obama policy

In the wake of the release of evidence proving that global warming studies have been falsified, and investigations into other global warming researchers believed to have also altered data, President Obama is still determined to commit the USA to regulations that will drastically increase the cost of doing business.

Letter from Senator Jim Webb (D-VA) to President Obama:  Although details have not been made available, recent statements by Special Envoy on Climate Change Todd Stern indicate that negotiators may be intending to commit the United States to a nationwide emission reduction program. As you well know from your time in the Senate, only specific legislation agreed upon in the Congress, or a treaty ratified by the Senate, could actually create such a commitment on behalf of our country.

The Big Question: Does ‘climate-gate' matter politically?

Of course ClimateGate matters politically, and the damage has only begun.  This won't help their electoral prospects. It also has ramifications for health care: If you can't trust them on global warming, can you trust them on cancer screenings?

Obama Ignores ‘Climate-Gate' in Revising Copenhagen Plans

The White House is shrugging off the Climate-gate e-mails.   “I think there's no real scientific basis for the dispute of (global warming),” White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs said this week.    And Obama's top science adviser, John Holdren, downplayed the e-mails Friday, telling Congress that the controversy involves a small group of scientists and how they have interpreted and shared global warming data.

Think ‘Climate-Gate' Is Nonevent? Think Again

President Obama's climate czar, Carol M. Browner, and White House spokesman Robert Gibbs might think that Climate-gate is a nonevent, but on Monday Pennsylvania State University announced that it was launching an investigation into the academic conduct of Michael Mann, the school's Director of the Earth System Science Center. …  Dozens of researchers at other institutions could soon face similar investigations.

From Climate-gate to Google-gate to Who Was the Hacker Anyway?

Suddenly, though, on Monday December 1, Google stopped offering “climategate” as a choice to those who typed c-l-i and even to those who typed c-l-i-m-a-t-e-g-a-t. Strange.

NASA-Gate

What's become known as “Climate-Gate” may be about to explode on this side of the pond as well. Chris Horner, a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, has threatened a lawsuit against NASA if by year-end the agency doesn't honor his FOI requests for information on how and why its climate numbers have been consistently adjusted for error
