[World Meteorological Organization News] The IPCC was established by WMO and the United Nations Environment Programme in 1988 to assess, on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis, the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation.

[UD/RK Samhälls Debatt] Environmental terrorism: Examples are the fraudulent predictions of the destruction of the animals and butterflies of the Kruger National Park, and the imminent loss of our Proteas (South Africa) and Quiver Trees (Namibia) as a result of climate change. These claims are included in the IPCC’s reports where they were accepted without question by the gullible advisory panels.

[Economic Principals] A Guide for the Perplexed: Since the Norwegians last year propelled Al Gores film documentary, “An Inconvenient Truth,” into the stratosphere by awarding half a Nobel Peace Prize to the former presidential candidate (Gore shared it with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an international interdisciplinary scientific committee studying global warming for the United Nations), the proposition that continuing industrialization is going to require some extensive mitigation of its effects on the atmosphere has become much more widely accepted.

[Climate Science: Roger Pielke Sr. Research Group News] Comments On “Mitigate and Adapt - But Dont Forget the Science ...: If climate change ranks among the top threats facing our planet, as I and many others believe, then it seems imperative that we invest in observing, understanding, and predicting our climate at a level commensurate with the risk we face, while at the same time carrying out unprecedented mitigation and adaptation efforts on a local, national, and global basis.”
[A Global Goring] Scientific Scrutiny Melts Alarmist Global Warming Claims: For example, Gore claims that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking and global warming is to blame. Yet the September 2006 issue of the American Meteorological Society’s Journal of Climate reported, “Glaciers are growing in the Himalayan Mountains, confounding global warming alarmists who recently claimed the glaciers were shrinking and that global warming was to blame.”

[Comments for Kiwiblog] Comment on Espiner on Energy by PhilBest: Canada: IPCC 2007 Expert Reviewer Madhav Khandekar, a Ph.D meteorologist, a scientist with the Natural Resources Stewardship Project who has over 45 years experience in climatology, meteorology and oceanography, and who has published nearly 100 papers, reports, book reviews and a book on Ocean Wave Analysis and Modeling: “To my dismay, IPCC authors ignored all my comments and suggestions for major changes in the FOD (First Order Draft) and sent me the SOD (Second Order Draft) with essentially the same text as the FOD. None of the authors of the chapter bothered to directly communicate with me (or with other expert reviewers with whom I communicate on a regular basis) on many issues that were raised in my review.

The CCSP process, however, has not succeeded in this goal.
[Green Blog] Orwellian Australian “Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme” will ...: Australia is referred to as “Downunder” by people in the Northern Hemisphere but in so many things Australian mainstream media and politicians turn the truth upside-down as well - and this is outrageously so in relation to man-made climate change. The Liberal-National Party Coalition State and Federal Oppositions and the Labor Party State and Federal Governments (these major parties being referred to collectively as the Lib-Labs) pay public lip-service to the problem of global warming but their de facto policies support Australias world-leading coal exports and Australias 92% fossil fuel-based power generation.
[sharearticles] Wetlands and climate change: The volume of greenhouse gases sequestered by wetlands is immense. Although they occupy only six per cent of the land area worldwide, and have suffered sharp declines over the past hundred years, scientific estimates say marshes, river floodplains, lagoons, swamps, and other water bodies store almost the equivalent of the current atmospheric carbon levels within water and slow-decaying vegetation.
[Biswabiz's blog] GLOBAL WARMING : AN EMERGING THREAT TO LIFE ON EARTH: In June 1976, in response to press reports predicting a Little Ice Age, the World Meteorological Organization issued a warning that a very significant warming of global climate was probable.[107] This increased awareness of the scientific findings surrounding global warming has resulted in political and economic debate.[108] Poor regions, particularly Africa, appear at greatest risk from the projected effects of global warming, while their emissions have been small compared to the developed world.[109] At the same time, developing country exemptions from provisions of the Kyoto Protocol have been criticized by the United States and Australia, and used as part of a rationale for continued non-ratification by the U.S.[110] In the Western world, the idea of human influence on climate has gained wider public acceptance in Europe than in the United States.[111][112]
