Why? Because it is extremely alarmist
(Daily Mail) A climate scientist has accused the United Nations of being too alarmist over global warming – and demanded his name be removed from a crucial new report.
Professor Richard Tol, an economist at the University of Sussex, said fellow UN academics were exaggerating climate change and comparing it to the ‘apocalypse’.
His comments are a blow to the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which on Monday will publish its first update in seven years on the impacts of climate change.
Scientists are taking long fossil fueled flights to Japan this week to agree on the final version of the scaremongering document.
Professor Tol is most definitely not a skeptic, he’s a big believer that “climate change” is mostly/solely caused by Mankind, but he also believes that the IPCC report will be overly-alarmist, but, then, that is the point of the reports, to scare the bejesus out policy makers in order to get them to Do Something
‘This has completely disappeared from the draft now, which is all about the impacts of climate change and the four horsemen of the apocalypse. This is a missed opportunity.’
Alas, Richard, highlighting doom and gloom is exactly what the IPCC and Warmists want
Last September the first report summarised the physical science of climate change, concluding that scientists are 95 per cent certain that humans are the ‘dominant cause’ of global warming. (and their prognostications have been 95% false)
The second part will set out the impact a warming world will have on people, economies, animals and natural ecosystems. (in other words, it should be made into a bad horror movie on SciFi)
The third part, to be finalised next month, will summarise possible mitigation – what we can do to reduce the problem. (taxation, more Big Government control of people and the private sector, more power to the UN)
And these same IPCC members still haven’t changed their own lives to match their apocalyptic rhetoric.
