EU Referendum: Glaciergate no more

Thus, all the warmists have now is Greenland and the little bit of Antarctica that is actually melting. With that, the scariest estimate they can come up with is that, through 2003 to 2010, melting ice raised sea levels worldwide by an average of 1.48 millimeters (0.06 inches) a year.

That way, it is going to a hundred years before we get to six inches, just supposing we are not in the grip of a little ice age by then. Whatever else though, Pachauri pulled off his little scam just in time. Now the money is in the bank, he can walk away from it and try our something else to supplement his income.

But when the histories come to be written, glaciergate will get a special place, as an illustration of how easy it is to convince the gullible that the sky is falling in.
