As is typical with the man-made global warming promoters, they have once again reiterated a falsehood already publicly debunked. In much the same way Gore constantly beats his drum about the “hockey stick” theory, by one of the IPCC contributors, Dr Michael Mann, the number of writers in the IPCC annual reports, has never been accurately portrayed.
The number claimed by the global warming supporters of scientists involved with the UN annual reports is always in the neighborhood of 5000. A peer review written paper has refuted that number, as have many scientists, whose dissenting opinions have found their work on the editing room floor.
The global warming crowd has promoted this figure for one purpose and one purpose alone. When they make a claim that over 5000 scientists would have to be “in on a conspiracy,” it somehow makes their claims look more believable than to say, only 52-60 scientists would have to be in on a conspiracy. It’s certainly believable to think that only 52-60 scientists have conspired to alter the wealth system of the world, through the guise of global warming.
In a statement at Copenhagen this week, the global warming crowd once again used this well overinflated number to describe the “consensus,” which is far from the truth.
Marc Morano from the largest website that refutes the man-made global warming claims, Climatedepot.com, has demanded a retraction of this statement saying, “Your idea that [there are] 5000 UN scientists – you need to apologize and retract that immediately. A frustrated Professor Mark Maslin of the University College London, who teaches Geography, and sits on the board as executive director of Carbon Auditors Ltd, which deals in carbon credits, claimed that “every single intelligent person” listens to UN scientists and accepts that man-made global warming is a serious problem.
This is but one more futile attempt to justify the rapidly waning public support for a global agreement or an internal Cap and Trade bill in the United States. Merely repeating false numbers, fraudulent data, and defective data models doesn’t make those numbers any more believable. With the exposure of the CRU emails, we now have an inside view of the purely political world of man-made global warming, as promoted by dishonest “scientists.”

Prior to the adoption of a new statement in June 2007, the American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG) was the only major scientific organization that rejected the finding of significant human influence on recent climate, according to a statement by the Council of the American Quaternary Association. How much scientfic consensus do you need? Even if you bury your head in the sand and dispute that man is the cause of rising gloabl temperatures and melting ice packs there is no disputing the increased acidity levels of the oceans, caused directly by CO2 emmisions.
What is the basis of this ostensibly paranoid delussional statement: "It’s certainly believable to think that only 52-60 scientists have conspired to alter the wealth system of the world, through the guise of global warming." This is about the fact that the resources we consume to support our lifestyle (petrocarbons) are finate and cause damage to the planet, our lifestyle is therefore not sustainable. Altering the wealth system? What are you talking about, get over your seige mentality? Spending money on creating energy using sustainable sources (wind / hydro) rather than petrocarbons serves to invest in US jobs and keep money in the US economy. The wealth system you are so ferverently defending sees billions of dollars leave the country to buy oil and gas from Iran, Venezuela and Russia. Why is that preferable to investing in green energy and US jobs?
JB, you are a typical global warming scaremonger, if you bother to research the facts and not just groups who have a monetary stake in the outcome of the green industry, maybe you would understand. My head is far from being buried in the sand!
The article was about how many contributing scientists are involved in the final IPCC report presented to the UN. This is just more lying by the so called scientists. I noticed you only defended what part of global warming YOU saw fit to address and not the actual lies from Copenhagen.
Open your mind before you open your mouth!
"This is about the fact that the resources we consume to support our lifestyle (petrocarbons) are finate (sic)"
The finiteness of resources has NOTHING to do with the theory that CO2 causes warming
" and cause damage to the planet,"
What damage? Stating in absolutes like this is just eco-religious zealotry. CO2 is the source of all life on earth.
The climate has changed since the earth was born.
The question is what is man's contribution to CO2-induced changes to climate. Climate Depot is a great resource for all the news that the IPCC/UN does NOT want you to know about on this issue. The truth is that the IPCC/UN has been spinning this issue and not been honest and straight. THEY ARE HYPING UP THE FEARS AND RISKS OF CO2.
"The wealth system you are so ferverently defending sees billions of dollars leave the country to buy oil and gas from Iran, Venezuela and Russia." So we should DRILL HERE AND DRILL NOW. Destroying our economy is a dumb way to reduce our oil trade deficit.
JB, get over your seige mentality? JB, get over your stupidity, this is MY country, we are governed by OUR laws, and I'll be damned if i want to hand my hard earned money over to the most corrupt organization in the world, so they can inflict their stupidity on me!
Take your head out of your a_s
Imagine! - We are one step away from levying a tax on the emissions of CO2 worldwide; a tax that each and every consumer will pay through the increased cost of energy priced into everything we produce and buy. The EPA just recently rendered and endangerment finding on CO2; a gas that is an essential building block to all plant life on the globe, based on what appears to be a fraudulent hypothesis. Carbon Dioxide is a gas that is soluble in water, and one that forms the very base of the food chain in our oceans; it is a compound that each and every living mammal on the planet exhales as part of its very existence. And yet a group of scientists, who for purely self-serving and political reasons, have apparently embarked on a crusade to manufacture evidence that the world is on the verge of an climate apocalypse and that CO2 is the hobgoblin of greenhouse gases, when in fact it represents only 4% of the total GHG’s in our atmosphere.
Somebody needs to stand up and tell the 20,000 att
You should also note that 31,000 scientists signed the The Global Warming petition last spring discounting human connection to climate change. Those are hard numbers with a larger list of credible scientists.
Recently there have been 1700 scientists in the UK that support the idea of man-made global warming, but there has been a petition for the last 10 years supported by 31,000 confirmed scientists who disagree with the Al Gore view of global warming. They have compiled a lot of proof supporting their claims, and reference links.
