Greenpeace leader Gerd Leipold has been forced to admit that his organization issued misleading and exaggerated information when it claimed that Arctic ice would disappear completely by 2030, in a crushing blow for the man-made global warming movement.
Indeed, it was discovered that during August 2007 to August 2008, Arctic ice had in fact grown by around 30 per cent, an area equivalent to the size of Germany.
A new peer reviewed study has also discovered, âTotal annual precipitation in Greenland ice sheet for 1958-2007 to be up to 24% and surface mass balance up to 63% higher than previously thought.â
As we reported last year, climate scientists allied with the UN IPCC were also caught citing fake data to make the case that global warming is accelerating, in another shocking example of mass public deception.
Just saying they are wrong. and people talking about SARS are wrong and that Bird Flu was a lie is stupid. Nobody lied. Do you know how many different factors go into an event occurring? To predict a specific percent by a specific year, and to say that a disease has the possibility of pandemic proportions are difficult to predict, but no one ever said that these diseases will for sure wipe out continents. If you get your information from the news and TV, then it's your own fault for getting tricked and frightened and pressured into doing or buying pointless things. If you want real information, read scientific journals, and scientific papers with facts and experiments. Yes some of these guys might have exaggerated, but the basis of their information is still correct. Certain gases cause a greenhouse effect, humans produce these gases with their machines, and so we are affecting the planet. It's difficult to say to what extent and how fast it is becoming a problem.
Indeed. I don't think we should have a thread based on false information. The spread of misinformation on the internet can't be stopped, but it can certainly be contained here.
