The IAC took issue with the IPCC's use of so-called gray literature as well, papers
from unpublished or non-peer-reviewed sources. Such material is explicitly against policy, yet authors of the IPCC's reports do not follow the guidelines for evaluating such sources, explained the IAC.
This stops short of calling the U.N. Climate council corrupt , and doesn't really go into the Science end of the whole Silliness of Global Warming Lunacy .
The layout of that evidence will come later ( We Hope ).

The InterAcademy Council, an independent group of scientists representing agencies from around the world, presented the findings of its five-month investigation Monday morning at the United Nations. The group took issue with the structure, methods and leadership of the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) -- the group responsible for a 2007 report that erroneously forecast
the imminent melting of Himalayan glaciers, the rate of melt of polar ice caps and dwindling Amazon rainforests.
"The IPCC has raised public awareness of climate change, and driven policymakers," said Harold Shapiro, chair of the IAC Committee to Review IPCC and former president of Princeton University. But the controversies that have erupted, and revelations of errors, have put the group under the microscope. "We recommend some significant reforms," he told the U.N.
"The IPCC has yet to review the IAC's findings, so I am not able to comment on its findings," said longstanding chair Rajendra Pachauri in a press conference following the presentation. But he did note that none of the seven reviews of the IPCC to date had found flaws in the U.N. group.

Climate Change Causes Illegal Immigration ?
Who is the Nitwit that thought up this Study ?
So if there is a rise in Temperatures The United States will be flooded with more Migrants ( A nice way of saying Illegal Immigrant )
Just the United states ?
BBC
A warming climate could see millions of adult Mexicans migrate to the US as rising temperatures cause a drop in crop yields, according to a study by researchers at Princeton University.
For every 10% of lost crop yields in Mexico, another 2% of Mexicans are likely to leave their country, the study says.
The research draws a clear connection between climate change and immigration - two heavily debated issues in the US.
It says warming may bring between 1.4m and 6.7m Mexicans to the US by 2080.

U.N. Climate Panel Embraces 'Diversity' -- Geographically
"The U.N. cannot be trusted on this issue," said Peter Ferrara, a former Reagan White House policy adviser, and associate U.S. deputy attorney general, who is now with the Institute for Policy Innovation. "They have a vested interest. They want to use global warming concerns to create laws that will increase their power. They are about as biased as a big oil company when it comes to the environment."
Oh my aching head , the U.N is getting ready to try and justify part of their existence , through Diversity .
not that any of these asswipes know what they are doing or talking about but there are Women on the panel this time for the new Climate report !
That is their diverseness , Women , not saying if they are Scientists or not just that they have included Women !
So if you thought it was bad before just wait , it gets better !

Diversity, apparently, is in the eye of the beholder.
The United Nations, which has come under fire for stocking its climate change group with scientists who are lockstep in their endorsement of the theory of manmade global warming, is trumpeting the "more diverse" panel it has selected for its fifth report on the issue, expected in 2014.
But that doesn't mean the UN is assembling a group that is open-minded to contrary theories. All it means, critics say, is that the scientists will come from a more diverse range of countries.
The more things change, they say, the more you can bet they'll stay the same.
According to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 60 percent of the team it assembled to produce its fifth assessment on climate change -- a document called the "AR5" -- is new to the panel. The report then loudly trumpets the wide array of participating countries and an increased number of women among the panelists -- not their viewpoints on the contentious issue they will study.
"Participation from developing countries has been increased reflecting the ongoing efforts to improve regional coverage in the AR5," the IPCC says. "About 30% of [the report's] authors will come from developing countries or economies in transition," the IPCC says. "The proportion of female experts has significantly increased since the AR4, reaching approximately 25% of the selected authors."
But the U.N.'s complete list of authors doesn't cite their field of expertise or their perspective on climate change. In fact, the country each scientist comes from is the only bit of information the U.N. deemed relevant to cite.
Asked to explain how the U.N. selected the panel from among 3,000 nominees, spokeswoman Carine Richard Van Maele declined to comment. But Michael Mann of Penn State University, a leading global-warming guru, was enthusiastic about the selections. "It looks like a great bunch of scientists, and I'm happy to see a lot of new blood in there, and an appropriate diversity of backgrounds, experiences and viewpoints," Mann told FoxNews.com.
But other policy experts and scientists fretted that the panel's geographic diversity won't guarantee an accurate report.
"The U.N. cannot be trusted on this issue," said Peter Ferrara, a former Reagan White House policy adviser, and associate U.S. deputy attorney general, who is now with the Institute for Policy Innovation. "They have a vested interest. They want to use global warming concerns to create laws that will increase their power. They are about as biased as a big oil company when it comes to the environment."

Critics Give U.N. Climate Researchers an 'F'
More confirmation over what we already Know , the U.N. has tried to pull their B.S. right over our eyes !
False info , A student theses , literature from a green advocacy group , all included in their findings for their argument IN FAVOR OF Their view of Global warming ! That's Not BIAS is it ?
And how has this affected us Americans ?
Americans tax Dollars going to support Climate change issues (Under false findings)
Having to hear Al Gore .
Being Demonized over our choices of how we live , what we drive , by people who believe in Phony Science !
Having to deal With Al Gores Movie ( Which I still Have not and will not watch )
Being brow beaten by Smelly hippie Douchbags that think they are right , though they can't even read and just will not shower because it is better for the planet for them to just be offensive !
And having to listen to Al Gore !
I'm all for saving the Planet , but lets do it like grown ups , not like elitist Nitwits !

It may be time for the United Nations' climate-studies scientists to go back to school.
A group of 40 auditors -- including scientists and public policy experts from across the globe -- have released a shocking report card on the U.N.'s landmark climate-change research report.
And they gave 21 of the report's 44 chapters a grade of "F."
The team, recruited by the climate-change skeptics behind the website NoConsensus.org, found that 5,600 of the 18,500 sources in the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Nobel Prize-winning 2007 report were not peer reviewed.
"We've been told this report is the gold standard," said Canadian global-warming skeptic Donna Laframboise, who runs the NoConsensus.org site and who organized the online effort to examine the U.N.'s references in the report, commonly known as the AR4.
The cover of the IPCC's fourth assessment report to the U.N., "Climate Change 2007: Synthesis Report," more frequently referred to as AR4.
"We've been told it's 100 percent peer-reviewed science. But thousands of sources cited by this report have been nowhere near a scientific journal."
Based on the grading system used in American schools, 21 chapters in the IPCC report received an F for citing peer-reviewed sources less than 60 percent of the time. Four chapters received a D, and six received a C.
The report also got eight A's and five B's from the auditors, who included Bob Ashworth, a member of the American Geophysical Union, and Dr. Darko Butina, a director of Chemomine Consultancy Ltd.
According to Lafromboise, much of the scientific research published by the U.N. cited press releases, newspaper and magazine clippings, student theses, newsletters, discussion papers, and literature published by green advocacy groups. Such material is often called "gray literature," she said, and it stands in stark contrast to the U.N.'s claims about the study's sources.
In June 2008, Rajendra Pachauri, the IPCC's chairman, said: "People can have confidence in the IPCC's conclusions, given that it is all on the basis of peer-reviewed literature.
"We don't pick up a newspaper article and, based on that, come up with our findings," he told a group at the Commonwealth Club.

UN climate change chief Rajendra Pachauri says sorry — and switches to neutral
Attention EPA ,
In an interview with The Times, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, apologised for his organisation’s handling of complaints about errors in its report.
Errors ? Try LIES !
“I will try to clarify that I’m not prescribing anything as a solution. Maybe I should be more careful [in media interviews] in laying down certain riders. One learns from that and I’m learning.”
Really , You should be more Careful and Al Gore should also .
If there was a way to calculate all the money spent on the lies of Global Warming , by way of increased Taxes , increased fuel costs , and time wasted by governments spinning their wheels to keep up with a completely False Idea , I wish it to be done .(And there are many more wastes of money , I can't think of them all )
And the results should be divided up between the Conspirators of Global warming so as to repay the Money to all the Governments and the People !
We have been paying for these lies for years and it is beyond time to stop .
Timesonline
The outspoken chairman of the UN’s climate change body is to adopt a neutral advisory role and has agreed to stop making statements demanding new taxes and other radical policies on cutting emissions.
In an interview with The Times, Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, apologised for his organisation’s handling of complaints about errors in its report.
He also apologised for describing as “voodoo science” an Indian Government report which challenged the IPCC’s claims about the rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers.
But Dr Pachauri, 70, rejected calls for his resignation and insisted he would remain as chairman until after publication of the IPCC’s next report in 2014.
He claimed he had the support of all the world’s governments and denied that, by remaining in post, he was undermining the IPCC’s chances of regaining credibility with the public.
“It is not correct to say there are people who don’t trust me,” he said.
He admitted it had been a mistake to give the impression, in many interviews, that he was advocating specific actions to cut emissions. Last year, he called for higher taxes on aviation and motoring, said people should eat less meat, and proposed that hotel rooms should have electricity meters to charge people extra for using air conditioning.
Speaking in London yesterday, he said he would focus in future on presenting the science on climate change rather than advocating policies.
“I will try to clarify that I’m not prescribing anything as a solution. Maybe I should be more careful [in media interviews] in laying down certain riders. One learns from that and I’m learning.”

You Can Call Him Al ... But Al Won't Call You Back
You can't expect the great Al Gore , to speak the truth about Global warming , not when he has these kind of thoughts on his mind ...
at the IBM Pulse Conference in Las Vegas, Gore commented on how the environment was a fantastic business opportunity.
Yes money , that is all it comes down to ! Our money in big Al Gore's pocket , he does not really love the environment he loves the money he gets from scaring the hell out of everyone .
Foxnews
Al Gore won a Nobel Prize and an Oscar for his film, An Inconvenient Truth. But in the last three months, as global warming has gone from a scientific near-certitude to the subject of satire, Gore -- the public face of global warming -- has been silent on the topic.
The former vice president apparently finds it inconvenient even to answer calls to testify before the U.S. Senate. You can call him Al . . . but he won't call back.
On Tuesday, Oklahoma Sen. James Inhofe -- a prominent skeptic of global warming theory and the Republican leader of the Senate's Environment and Public Works Committee -- issued a request for Gore to come testify on global warming. In an interview with FoxNews.com, Inhofe said he wants Gore to appear because "it will be interesting to ask him on what science he based his movie," a film the senator considers "science fiction."
Gore has yet to respond, but that didn't prevent him from causing a stir at Apple's shareholder meeting Thursday. According to CNET, Gore was seated in the first row while several stockholders bashed his high-profile views on climate change. One reportedly said Gore "has become a laughingstock. The glaciers have not melted."
Gore did not reply, and he has not commented on his blog or Twitter feed.
Inhofe says he hopes Gore will address the recent Climate-gate scandals that have besmirched the science, scientists and politicians who back the theory of manmade climate change. Last fall, news outlets in the United Kingdom exposed a scandal in which leading global warming scientists conspired in e-mails to hide data that contradicted "proof" of manmade global warming. Then the world's leaders failed to reach a deal on climate change policy in Copenhagen. And the U.N.'s climate change research body admitted flaws in its report that concluded that the Himalayan glaciers were melting, the Arctic ice cap was fading away, and the Amazon rainforest was in imminent danger.
Since his appearance at the Copenhagen climate summit in December, Gore has been reluctant to talk to the media, making only a handful of public appearances.
On Jan. 16, he spoke at the American Library Association conference at the Boston Convention & Exhibition Center, and he signed copies of his newest book, Our Choice: How We Can Solve the Climate Crisis.On Feb. 22, at the IBM Pulse Conference in Las Vegas, Gore commented on how the environment was a fantastic business opportunity.

The great global warming retreat
This was a huge weekend for news regarding the man made global warming fraud.
Dr. Phil Jones, the climate 'scientist' behind climategate admitted over the weekend that there has been no global warming since 1995, that he lost vital data used in the infamous hockey stick graph and admitted that the earth has experience warmer periods not due to human activities.
Daily Mail
Professor Jones told the BBC yesterday there was truth in the observations of colleagues that he lacked organisational skills, that his office was swamped with piles of paper and that his record keeping is ‘not as good as it should be’.
The data is crucial to the famous ‘hockey stick graph’ used by climate change advocates to support the theory.
Professor Jones also conceded the possibility that the world was warmer in medieval times than now – suggesting global warming may not be a man-made phenomenon.
And he said that for the past 15 years there has been no ‘statistically significant’ warming.

Harvard Hometown Plans Coercive Taxes, Veganism to Stop Climate 'Emergency'
"From a climate point of view, eating less meat would have a climate impact," said Rood, citing increased deforestation, methane production, fertilizer use and greenhouse gases associated with maintaining that land. "Eating less meat is for the environment in many ways.
This is absolutely ridiculous .
Veganism , can help control Greenhouse Gas ?
Foxnews
Going green will not be optional in Cambridge, Mass., if the Cambridge Climate Congress has its way. It will be mandatory.
There will be congestion pricing to reduce car travel. Curbside parking will be eliminated. There will be a carbon tax "of some kind," not to mention taxes on plastic and paper bags. And the Massachusetts city, home of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, will advocate vegetarianism and veganism, complete with "Meatless or Vegan Mondays."
Those are just some of the proposals put forth by the Congress, which was created in May 2009 to respond to the "climate emergency" plaguing Cambridge. Once the Congress settles on its recommendations, they will submitted to the City Council.
"This emergency is created by the growth of local greenhouse gas emissions despite the urgent warnings of climate scientists that substantial reductions are needed in order to reduce the risk of disastrous changes to our climate," the Climate Congress reported in proposals issued on Jan. 23. "This proposal is made in the belief that an effective local response is, if anything, made more urgent by so far inadequate global agreements and federal policies for emissions reductions. It is made in the belief that our City should lead by example."

Snowpocalypse postpones NOAA climate change announcement
Warmists continue to plough through with their man made climate change fraud, even as DC is buried under record snowfall. As if this wasn't enough...DC can expect another 20 inches of snow!
Washington Street Journal
NOAA, part of the Department of Commerce, is going to be providing information to individuals and decision-makers through a new NOAA Climate Service office. “More and more, Americans are witnessing the impacts of climate change in their own backyards, including sea-level rise, longer growing seasons, changes in river flows, increases in heavy downpours, earlier snowmelt and extended ice-free seasons in our waters. People are searching for relevant and timely information about these changes to inform decision-making about virtually all aspects of their lives,” the release says.
Earlier snowmelt? That would be nice.
Turns out the release was planned prepared ahead of the snowstorm, which shut federal agencies today and forced its senders to hold a press conference by telephone instead of at the National Press Club.

U.N. Climate Change Expert Cites More Errors in Report
It says the total area of Himalyan glaciers “will likely shrink from the present 500,000 to 100,000 square kilometers by the year 2035."
There are only 33,000 square kilometers of glaciers in the Himalayas.
So we have been dealt a major Lie about climate change , and lied to about how many square Kilometers of Glacier's are in the Himalayan's , by more than just a little bit .
Lets see how everyone tries to justify Global warming now !
Foxnews
The Indian head of the U.N. climate change panel defended his position Friday even as further errors were identified in the panel's assessment of Himalayan glaciers.
Dr. Rajendra Pachauri dismissed calls for him to resign over the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change’s retraction of a prediction that Himalayan glaciers could disappear by 2035.
But he admitted that there may have been other errors in the same section of the report, and said that he was considering whether to take action against those responsible.
“I know a lot of climate sceptics are after my blood, but I’m in no mood to oblige them,” he told The Times of London in an interview. “It was a collective failure by a number of people,” he said. “I need to consider what action to take, but that will take several weeks. It’s best to think with a cool head, rather than shoot from the hip.”
The IPCC’s 2007 report, which won it the Nobel Peace Prize, said that the probability of Himalayan glaciers “disappearing by the year 2035 and perhaps sooner is very high."
But it emerged last week that the forecast was based not on a consensus among climate change experts, but on a media interview with a single Indian glaciologist in 1999.
The IPCC admitted on Thursday that the prediction was “poorly substantiated” in the latest of a series of blows to the panel’s credibility.
Poorly substantiated ? , how about an outright Lie !
