It appears the much vaunted UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has received a stunning rebuke from a top-notch independent investigation this week.

As published in the New York Post

“The prestigious InterAcademy Council, an independent association of ‘the best scientists and engineers worldwide’ has finished a thorough review of IPCC practices — and found them badly wanting.”

“The IPCC’s much-vaunted Fourth Assessment Report claimed in 2007 that Himalayan glaciers were rapidly melting, and would possibly be gone by the year 2035. The claim was actually false — yet the IPCC cited it as proof of man-made global warming.”

“The IAC slammed the IPCC for reporting ‘high confidence in some statements for which there is little evidence. Furthermore, by making vague statements that were difficult to refute, authors were able to attach ‘high confidence’ to the statements.’ The critics note ‘many such statements that are not supported sufficiently in the literature, not put into perspective or not expressed clearly’.”

“Some IPCC practices can only be called shoddy. As The Wall Street Journal reported, ‘Some scientists invited by the IPCC to review the 2007 report before it was published questioned the Himalayan claim. But those challenges ‘were not adequately considered,’ the InterAcademy Council’s investigation said, and the projection was included in the final report’.”

“Yet the Himalayan claim wasn’t based on peer-reviewed scientific data, or on any data — but on speculation in a phone interview by a single scientist.”
