The Great Global Warming Scam (Or, Why the IPCC Screwed Up)

April 11, 2008 · No Comments

 Ok, I haven’t a clue what the chart below means except, apparently it explains why the Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) screwed up by announcing that global warming is an established trend. Click on the graphic to take you to a boffin’s explanation.

There are just so many variables in trying to model something as complex as global climate change plus, the science of climate modelling is still in the early years of groping for understanding.

The temperature trend which caught the IPCC by surprise is shown below. The climate scientist who put the above chart together says 

Since late 2001, the trend of global surface temperatures has been downward. “Global warming” stopped in 1998; and, though it may resume in future years, the rate of warming is self-evidently less than that which the IPCC had expected, and is very likely to be harmless.

Some politicians (eg. Al Gore) may still finish up with egg all over their face having jumped on the band wagon of global warming.
