A leaked copy of a UN report on global warming says that scientist’s claims that global warming was going to destroy us were drastically wrong.
The Daily Mail reports that in 2007 the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) claimed that the planet was going to rise 0.2 Celsius every decade, a claim that governments and scientists all across the world have relied on to make their own determinations.
But now the new report says that the climate only warmed at .12 C per decades since 1951, a rate far, far below what everyone was told.
The new report also notes that scientists had to admit that their forecasts were wildly out of sync with the truth.
Some of the findings that the report contains are as follows:
- They recognize the global warming ‘pause’ first reported by The Mail on Sunday last year is real – and concede that their computer models did not predict it. But they cannot explain why world average temperatures have not shown any statistically significant increase since 1997.
- 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.
- 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.Further, these UN scientists now acknowledge that there has, indeed, been a “pause” in rising temperatures, just as so many have said.
Lol, nice try! Priceless, just priceless!
Yes, having the intelligence to have recognized the AGW scam years before the IPCC had to admit they were wrong is priceless.

We programed the computers to give us the answers we wanted, but the Earth isn’t cooperating with our forecasts, but we will keep trying to reprogram the Earth.

CA is falling into the toilet because of harsh EPA standards that they are being the experimental state of the union on.
CA’s goal is the cutting its greenhouse emissions to 80% below 1990 levels by 2040.
To do that Gov. Brown has ordered that 1.5 million zero-emission vehicles “be on California roads” by 2025.
Now, here’s the tricky part.
The California Air Resources Board has allowed manufacturers to comply with its diktats by buying “credits,” because a real electric car is usually a dud with consumers.
First there’s a $7,500 federal tax credit and $1,000 or more the state pays drivers to retire their gas vehicles.
Then CA offers consumers $2,500 rebates financed by a $20 “smog abatement fee,” which all drivers in the state must pay for their first six registration years.
BUT the ”rich” (average income $80,000/year) are the owners of most electric cars.
SO, the poor and middle class are subsidizing the rich for their SECOND cars!!!
The rebate program is so popular among the rich that it needs more money.
At least $30 million more.
They are taking that cash from a different smog check fee.
Next, CA’s middle class to be hit with a fee or tax increase to make up the difference.
