Dr Pachauri's woes are not going to end soon. The world is discovering more errors in the substandard 'scientific' report that the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) used to push its agenda at Copenhagen. The IPCC, headed by Pachauri, has ever since lost its credibility. The scare stories spread by the IPCC and other environmental activists are getting exposed, one at a time.

The Sunday Times, a prominent British daily, has exposed an "error" promoted by the IPCC climate change report. The report claimed that the frequent natural disasters that we see in recent history were caused by global warming. This expose comes weeks after the Sunday Times forced Dr Pachauri to retract his statement that the Himalayan Glaciers would disappear by 2035.

The IPCC based its claim about the link between natural disasters and global warming on an "unpublished report that had not been subjected to routine scientific scrutiny" and "ignored warnings from scientific advisers that the evidence supporting the link too weak." The report's own authors "later withdrew the claim" because they felt the evidence was not strong enough!

The claim by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that global warming is already affecting the severity and frequency of global disasters, has since become "embedded in political and public debate." It was "central to discussions at last month's Copenhagen climate summit," including a demand by developing countries for compensation of $100 billion (£62 billion) from the rich nations blamed for creating the most emissions.

The new controversy also goes back to the IPCC's 2007 report in which a separate section warned that the world had "suffered rapidly rising costs due to extreme weather-related events since the 1970s".

It suggested a part of this increase was due to global warming and cited the unpublished report, saying: "One study has found that while the dominant signal remains that of the significant increases in the values of exposure at risk, once losses are normalised for exposure, there still remains an underlying rising trend.”

The Sunday Times has since found that "the scientific paper on which the IPCC based its claim had not been peer reviewed, nor published, at the time the climate body issued its report.”

When the paper was eventually published, in 2008, it had a new caveat. It said: "We find insufficient evidence to claim a statistical relationship between global temperature increase and catastrophe losses.”

Despite this correction, "the IPCC did not issue a clarification ahead of the Copenhagen climate summit" last month. It has also emerged that "at least two scientific reviewers who checked drafts of the IPCC report urged greater caution in proposing a link between climate change and disaster impacts but were ignored.”

How can this be another “error” or oversight? Let us hope that the world will get to know who stood to benefit from all these lies. The Copenhagen summit placed such a heavy financial and technological demand on all countries. And to think that the IPCC's phony scientific report was used to fool the nations and their leaders!
