UN Says Man-Made Global Warming Indisputable – Now Let’s Check The Facts
THE New York Times says the UN will check the system to ensure that the “indisputable” narrative on man-made global warming is not undone by people finding out that the science is shoddy.
A group of top scientists from around the world will review the research and management practices of the United Nations climate change panel so that it can try to avoid the kinds of errors that have brought its work into question in recent months, officials said Wednesday.
Ban Ki-moon, the secretary general of the United Nations, said that the InterAcademy Council, a consortium of the world’s most prestigious scientific societies, would name scientists to take a thorough look at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
The panel has come under sharp attack after revelations of several mistakes in its most recent report, published in 2007, including a poorly sourced and exaggerated account of how quickly the Himalayan glaciers are melting.
Scientists and officials say that the panel’s finding that the earth is warming–probably as a result of human activity–remains indisputable.
“Probably.” “Indisputable.” Such are the facts
