UN wrongly linked global warming to natural disasters - Times Online

THE United Nations climate science panel faces new controversy for wrongly linking global warming to an increase in the number and severity of natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods.

It based the claims on an unpublished report that had not been subjected to routine scientific scrutiny — and ignored warnings from scientific advisers that the evidence supporting the link too weak. The report's own authors later withdrew the claim because they felt the evidence was not strong enough.

EU Referendum: UN climate panel blunders again

The main thing though is that both The Sunday Telegraph and now The Sunday Times have done the story. Pachauri will find this very difficult to ignore. My guess is that he is unlikely to survive this combined assault.

Amazingly, during the press conference yesterday, Pachauri asserted that his response to the "error" in the IPCC report means that the IPCC's credibility has increased. I give him, a week.

Save the planet and pass the Kool-Aid

My question is, just how many more of the IPCC’s apocalyptic prognostications are the result of cannibalizing/manipulating “bad science/data”?

The Reference Frame: Extreme Arctic cooled quickly: reduces UAH warming

Among other things, we learn that in the first 22 days of 2010, the temperature in this circle dropped by 14 °C. Incidentally, this is more than those 13 °C whose impact we recently considered. But the change occurred in 3 weeks rather than 100 years. ;-) Today, the temperature in the extreme Arctic is at its lowest level since 2004.
