This is far from the truth. The IPCC has always projected a very scary image of the world being plunged into disaster as a result of the actions of mankind. The IPCC supports the theory that man-made carbon dioxide (CO2) is the cause of global warming. Despite significant evidence that any global warming observed is probably due to the incidence of cosmic rays from the stars, the IPCC refuses to be scientifically honest and to take this scientific evidence into account. In one of its reports, the IPCC relied heavily on the now infamous Hockey Stick graph, which purported to show a great increase in temperature rise during the twentieth century. This graph has now been totally discredited, and the IPCC has withdrawn it. In 2009, the Climategate affair was made public. In Climategate, a group of scientists led by Phil Jones, of the Climate Research Unit of the University of East Anglia, in the UK, manipulated results to falsely show that the earth was warming more than was the truth. This affair gave rise to the phrase ’Hide the decline’, when many emails were discovered that had been passed between this group of people in which they plotted their deception. They were writers of a chapter of the IPCC report known as AR4. Last year, the IPCC was forced to apologise that it had grossly overstated the threat to the melting of the Himalayan glaciers. Well, the IPCC is in hot water again. It has just been revealed that an IPCC report released in May, stating that the whole world could be running on 77 renewable energy by 2050, was largely written by a prominent member of Greenpeace. The man who led the campaign to expose Climategate was Steve McIntyre, a Canadian engineer. McIntyre is playing a role in exposing the latest scandal. On 17 June, Mark Lynas, a journalist, refer- ring to the Greenpeace person’s major role in the current IPCC report, wrote on his blog, http://www.marklynas.org/2011/06/questions-the-ipcc-must-now-urgently-answer/: "Here’s the scenario. An Exxon-Mobil employee – admittedly an energy specialist with an engineering background – serves as a lead author on an important IPCC report looking into the future of fossil fuels. The Exxon guy and his fellow lead authors assess a whole variety of literature, but select for special treatment four particular papers – one produced by Exxon-Mobil. This paper heralds great things for the future of fossil fuels, suggesting they can supply 80 of the world’s energy in 2050, and this headline is the first sentence of the ensuing IPCC press release, which is picked up and repeated uncritically by the world’s media. "Pleased, the Exxon employee issues a self-congratulatory press release, boasting that his paper had been central to the IPCC effort and urging the world’s governments to get on with opening up new areas to oil drilling for the benefit of us all. "Well, you can imagine the furore this would cause at Greenpeace. The IPCC would be discredited forever as an independent voice. There would be pious banner-drops by Greenpeace activists abseiling down Exxon HQ and harshly criticising the terrible stranglehold that fossil fuel interests had achieved over supposedly independent science. Campaigners everywhere would be up in arms. Greenpeace would feel doubly justified in taking direct action against new oil wells being opened up in the Arctic, and its activists could demonstrate new feats of gallantry and bravery as they took on the might of the world’s oil industry with some ropes and a rubber dinghy somewhere near Greenland. "How is the Exxon scenario different from what has just happened with the IPCC’s renew- ables report? And why – when confronted with this egregious conflict of interest and abuse of scientific independence – has the response of the world’s green campaigners been to circle the wagons and cry foul against the whistle-blowers themselves? That this was spotted at all is a tribute to the eagle eyes of McIntyre. Yet I am told that he is a ’denier’, that all his deeds are evil, and that I have been naively led astray by him. Well, if the ’deniers’ are the only ones standing up for the integrity of the scientific process, and the independence of the IPCC, then I too am a ’denier’. Indeed, McIntyre and I have formed an unlikely double act, posing a series of questions – together with the New York Times’ Andy Revkin – to the IPCC report’s lead author, rofessor Ottmar Edenhofer, to which he has yet to respond. "Here’s some classic closing of ranks by Stefan Singer, of the WWF, riding to the rescue of his embattled Green-peace colleagues in a comment on my original blog post: ’Yes, I am biased as well, I am director for energy policy at the WWF – we scandalously dared to publish a global energy scenario a few months ago, showing how the world can go to even 95 renewables by 2050 and, even more shocking, we also showed in that scenario how global energy consumption can indeed be reduced globally with substantive energy conservation and efficiency policies without curtailing growth and economic activities. Moreover, if we want to combat climate change effectively (which, I rea- lise, not everyone supports on this exchange), what is wrong with showing that renewables can contribute 80 or even more to global energy supply? Mark Lynas, in case you take that serious (sic), you should thank Greenpeace and the NGOs to drive that debate.’" What the IPCC always does, and did in this case, is that it issues a ’summary’ of the report a month before the actual report is made public. So the press get the summary and report on it. It is then a whole month later when the actual substance of the report can be examined. The current report, in its depths, assumes that there will be huge world reduction in electricity consumption. They are talking of real consumption, not efficiency improvements, or reduction in growth rates. This effectively means that, in the whole of Africa, no substantive extra electricity can be used. So South Africa’s plans to double electricity production would be a no-no, according to the WWF and Greenpeace.
