24 May 09 - Before facing major surgery, wouldn’t you want a second
opinion? You'd be kinda silly if you didn't...
The Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) was
set up to examine the same climate data used by the United
Nations-sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
In his speech at the United Nations’ climate
conference on September 24, 2007, Dr. Vaclav Klaus, president of the
Czech Republic, said it would most help the debate on climate change if
the current monopoly and one-sidedness of the scientific debate over
climate change by the IPCC were eliminated. He reiterated his proposal
that the UN organize a parallel panel and publish two competing reports.
The present report of the NonIPCC does exactly that.
NIPCC focuses on two major issues:
- The very weak evidence that the causes of the
current warming are anthropogenic.
- The far more robust evidence that the causes
of the current warming
are natural.
We then addresses a series of less crucial topics:
- Computer models are unreliable guides to
future climate conditions.
- Sea-level rise is not significantly affected
by rise in GH gases.
- The data on ocean heat content have been
misused to suggest
anthropogenic warming.
- The role of GH gases in the reported rise in
ocean temperature is
largely unknown.
- Understanding of the atmospheric carbon
dioxide budget is incomplete.
