Well, it’s obviously because you used hair spray, putting out greenhouse gases and causing all the man-induced warmth to make it cooler

(UK Daily Mail) A leaked copy of the world’s most authoritative climate study reveals scientific forecasts of imminent doom were drastically wrong.

The Mail on Sunday has obtained the final draft of a report to be published later this month by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the ultimate watchdog whose massive, six-yearly ‘assessments’ are accepted by environmentalists, politicians and experts as the gospel of climate science.

Yet the leaked report makes the extraordinary concession that the world has been warming at only just over half the rate claimed by the IPCC in its last assessment, published in 2007. (snip)

Back then, it said that the planet was warming at a rate of 0.2C every decade – a figure it claimed was in line with the forecasts made by computer climate models.

But the new report says the true figure since 1951 has been only 0.12C per decade – a rate far below even the lowest computer prediction.

36 out of 38 “computer models” have failed to predict the actual temperature rise, and certainly didn’t predict the current 15+ year pause. Now we find that the rate of warming is far below what they prognosticated. But, I bet when they actually release the report there will be lots of PR campaigns which will tell us just how dooooooomed we are around 2100.

They admit large parts of the world were as warm as they are now for decades at a time between 950 and 1250 AD – centuries before the Industrial Revolution, and when the population and CO2 levels were both much lower.

Well, obviously that’s because Mankind was going to invent the fossil fueled combustion engine in the future.

The IPCC admits that while computer models forecast a decline in Antarctic sea ice, it has actually grown to a new record high. Again, the IPCC cannot say why.

I’m sure they’ll figure out a way to Blame Mankind shortly.

A forecast in the 2007 report that hurricanes would become more intense has simply been dropped, without mention.

Actually, the 2007 report claimed that hurricane activity would look more like 2005, with lots and lots of hurricanes of all sizes striking land. It was not long after that Warmists switched to the “there won’t be more, but the few that will happen will be more intense” talking point.

Starting a week tomorrow, about 40 of the 250 authors who contributed to the report – and supposedly produced a definitive scientific consensus – will hold a four-day meeting in Stockholm, together with representatives of most of the 195 governments that fund the IPCC, established in 1998 by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

So, Warmists and the IPCC like to mostly blame fossil fuels for the miniscule warming, yet are all certainly taking fossil fueled travel to Stockholm? Do as I say, not as I do.

Make sure you read the entire article, way too much to excerpt, including the death threats the Mail On Sunday’s reporter David Rose has received for daring to publish The Truth.
