previous 700 scientist report) from around the globe have now
challenged man-made global warming claims made by the United
Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and
former Vice President Al Gore. This new 2010 320-page
Climate Depot Special Report -- updated from 2007's
groundbreaking U.S. Senate Report of over 400 scientists who
voiced skepticism about the so-called global warming
“consensus” -- features the skeptical voices of over 1000
international scientists, including many current and former UN
IPCC scientists, who have now turned against the UN IPCC. This
updated 2010 report includes a dramatic increase of over 300
additional (and growing) scientists and climate researchers
since the last update in March 2009. This report's release
coincides with the 2010 UN global warming summit being held in
Cancun.
The more than 300 additional scientists added to this report
since March 2009 (21 months ago), represents an average of
nearly four skeptical scientists a week speaking out publicly.
The well over 1000 dissenting scientists
are almost
20 times the number of UN scientists
(52) who authored the media-hyped IPCC 2007 Summary for
Policymakers.
The chorus of
skeptical scientific voices grew louder in 2010 as the
Climategate scandal -- which involved the upper echelon of UN
IPCC scientists -- detonated upon on the international climate
movement. "I view Climategate as science fraud, pure and
simple," said
noted Princeton Physicist Dr. Robert Austin shortly after the
scandal broke. Climategate prompted UN IPCC scientists to turn
on each other. UN IPCC scientist Eduardo Zorita publicly
declared that his Climategate colleagues Michael Mann and Phil
Jones "should be barred from the IPCC process...They are not
credible anymore." Zorita also noted how insular the IPCC
science had become. "By writing these lines I will just
probably achieve that a few of my future studies will, again,
not see the light of publication," Zorita wrote. A UN lead
author Richard Tol lead author grew disillusioned with the
IPCC and lamented that it had been "captured" and demanded
that "the Chair of IPCC and the Chairs of the IPCC Working
Groups should be removed." Tol also publicly called for the
"suspension" of IPCC Process in 2010 after being invited by
the UN to participate as lead author again in the next IPCC
Report.
Other UN scientists were more blunt.
South African UN scientist
declared the UN IPCC a "worthless carcass" and noted IPCC chair Pachauri
is in "disgrace". He also explained that the "fraudulent science
continues to be exposed." Alexander, a former member of the UN
Scientific and Technical Committee on Natural Disasters harshly
critiqued the UN. "'I was subjected to vilification tactics at the time.
I persisted. Now, at long last, my persistence has been rewarded...There
is no believable evidence to support [the IPCC] claims. I rest my case!"
See: S. African UN Scientist Calls it! 'Climate change - RIP: Cause of
Death: No scientifically believable evidence...Deliberate manipulation
to suit political objectives' [Also see: New Report: UN Scientists Speak
Out On Global Warming -- As Skeptics!] Geologist Dr. Don Easterbrook, a
professor of geology at Western Washington University, summed up the
scandal on December 3, 2010:
"The corruption within the IPCC revealed by the Climategate scandal, the
doctoring of data and the refusal to admit mistakes have so severely
tainted the IPCC that it is no longer a credible agency."
