United Nations climate panel 'one-sided,' prof says by David Roach | Climate Realists
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (BP)--The world's leading climate change evaluation panel does a poor job of taking into account multiple scientific perspectives, including evidence against human-induced global warming, according to a recent report by the InterAcademy Council.

"The [IAC] criticisms ... all point in the same direction, which is that the IPCC [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] is one-sided," Ross McKitrick, professor of environmental economics at the University of Guelph in Canada, told Baptist Press.
John P. Holdren addresses climate change, stressing need for international cooperation
Holdren spoke before an audience that included scientists and leaders key to influencing science policy in the US, Europe and Asia. In addressing the international Forum, Holdren framed climate change not only as a critical environmental issue, but one that strikes at the security needs and economic vitality of nations. "Without energy there is no economy; without climate there is no environment; without economy and environment there is no material well being, there's no civil society, there's no personal or national security. And the problem is that the world is getting most of the energy its economies need in ways that are wrecking the climate its environment needs. That is the fundamental dilemma and the fundamental challenge we face."

So what is interesting about all this? Let’s remember a few expert claims :

1. PIOMAS said ice was the thinnest on record this spring
2. Barber says the thicker ice is rotten
3. Hansen says it was the hottest year on record
4. Hansen says that the Arctic had a very warm summer
5. PIOMAS said the ice was melting very quickly in late July, and forecast a record minimum more than 10% below 2007

Obviously if all these things were true, there wouldn’t be much ice in the Arctic right now. Something is very wrong with the body of expert opinions.
