Intentionally Phony Climate Commission

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has announced that it will change its name to the Intentionally Phony Climate Commission in order to more accurately portray its mission. The new name will still allow the use of the same acronym (IPCC) so as to avoid the need to reprint many of the UN reports which spread the alarm about climate change. So far, it has been learned that IPCC (1) based its climate projections on the phony data from East Anglia college in the UK, (2) based its projections about the demise of the Himalayan glaciers on an opinion stated in a popular magazine, (3) spoke about the rise of sea level as compared to the elevation of the Netherlands and got that elevation wrong for more than 25% of that country, and (4) well, you get the picture.

The amazing thing about the phony garbage presented to the world by the IPCC is how small a reaction occurs when the whole thing is exposed. This morning CBS described the items as "gaffes" in a way that made them sound more like typographical mistakes rather than glaring errors in the science due to the use of unsubstantiated rumors as facts. Of course, not all the world has reacted the same way that the US media has. India announced this morning that it was creating its own agency to monitor climate issues within that country rather than relying on the IPCC with its make-believe reports. According to India, the issue is too important for the country to base its actions on propaganda rather than science.

So far, Al Gore is sticking with propaganda since that science does not support his positions. President Obama is also still supporting cap and trade even though there is not any scientific basis for it at the moment.

The truth is that Obama should announce a project by the US government through NOAA or even NASA to gather worldwide climate figures and to publish them as soon as possible so that we will be able to see whether there is global warming and also exactly how that is calculated. The free exchange of views after actually, unbiased information is put forward will allow the world then to decide if there really is a problem and how to proceed to deal with it (if it exists).
