Add this to all the other "errors" that the latest IPCC report contains. Every story that now admits these various climate scandals has the same disclaimer:
"...DO NOT AFFECT CORE CONCLUSIONS THAT HUMAN ACTIVITIES, LED BY BURNING FOSSIL FUELS, ARE WARMING THE GLOBE"
You'll find some version of the disclaimer listed above in every news story that MUST ADMIT flawed data or sourcing as it pertains to global warming. Why? Because they've got to keep the little fart cloud aloft somehow. Too many livelihoods, profits, and reputations are at stake to admit the lie completely.
OSLO (Reuters) - The U.N. panel of climate experts overstated how much of the Netherlands is below sea level, according to a preliminary report on Saturday, admitting yet another flaw after a row last month over Himalayan glacier melt.
A background note by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said a 2007 report wrongly stated that 55 percent of the country was below sea level since the figure included areas above sea level, prone to flooding along rivers.
The United Nations has said errors in the 2007 report of about 3,000 pages do not affect the core conclusions that human activities, led by burning fossil fuels, are warming the globe.
"The sea level statistic was used for background information only, and the updated information remains consistent with the overall conclusions," the IPCC note dated February 12 said.
Skeptics say errors have exposed sloppiness and over-reliance on "grey literature" outside leading scientific journals. The panel's reports are a main guide for governments seeking to work out costly policies to combat global warming.
