More Global Warming "Science"
Proved Wrong

In 2007 the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued a report that claimed "glaciers in the Himalayas are receding faster than in any other part of the world" as a result of global warming. "The likelihood of them disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high," said the IPCC.

Only none of it was true.

Glacier experts and the U.N. now admit that, considering the thickness of the Himilayan glaciers, such an outcome is impossible.

Professor Graham Cogley, a glacier expert at Trent University in Canada found that the U.N. claim had multiplied the rate at which glaciers melt by a factor of about 25. Not bad for U.N. science!

You might recall that it was this IPCC report that helped the group win the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, along with its most brazen cheerleader Al Gore.

But what's even worse is the U.N. "scientist" behind the bogus claim, Murari Lal, now acknowledges that he was well-aware that the statement about the glaciers in the report did not rest on peer-reviewed scientific research. Lal says the IPCC decided to run with it anyway because it might put political pressure on governments to restrict energy use and carbon emissions.

"We thought that if we can highlight it, it will impact policy-makers and politicians and encourage them to take some concrete action," admits Lal.

It turns out the IPCC had gotten its information from a pair of interviews conducted in 1999 with little-known glacier scientist Syed Hasnain.

Hasnain's wildly incorrect claims were then made popular by the far-left environmental activists at the World Wildlife Fund – who have also been forced to acknowledge their misdeeds. ###
