There is a World-Wide Scientific Consensus that the IPCC gets it's facts wrong?

Sure, there is a consensus that IPCC got the percentage of the Netherlands that is below sea level wrong. What ramifications does a crusader for truth and accuracy like yourself estimate that this will have on predictions of future climate or CO2 sensitivity?

Honestly I don't blame JEROME, if it's comforting to think that industrial civilization is not going to end in five decades because someone forgot to dot every "i" then more power to him.

I'm not sure I understand your objection. Surely all of the Netherlands is below the North Sea isn't it? Are you holding the map the right way up? Boro Nut |

I suppose that the other global flooding story used in other religions is also not used to scare and shock people into action.

I'm not sure that there's much evidence that these kinds of catastrophe framing approaches actually work.

My point is that Jerole is talking out his ass. Again: in other news, Generalissimo Franco continues to be dead.

Personally, now that I know the IPCC can't even be trusted to tell me how much of a country I have never been to is a sunken wasteland, I am trading my car in for a Hummer and burning coal in my backyard by the wheelbarrow-full to celebrate the glorious new future of fossil fuel energy ahead of us.

Wouldn't know. In the tiny amount of religious instruction I got it was presented as a cute story for kids with animals and a singalong, with a final happy bit about how the big dude promised not to do it again and made a pretty rainbow.
But whatever it says in the big ol' book o' boring, and whatever people have used it for (which is practically everything), doesn't show anything about Dutch people being scared by a wrong figure or something. But you're so desperate to shore up your beliefs that you can't accept that a wrong figure that practically no-one had heard about might just be exactly that, aren't you? |
