More IPCC findings
Feb 11, 2010 Climate: WG2
Fact checking the IPCC, particularly WG2 is providing a rich source of material for climate bloggers. Jeff ID has been looking at some claims made about wildfires in British Columbia and finds that the citations are to two newspaper articles and a tourism newsletter. There is also some doubt as to whether the citations actually support the claims made.
Meanwhile Climategate.com reports on some interesting findings about NASA/GISS's adjustments to temperatures in Australia. The "f" word is used.
Calls for Pachauri to go are growing.

"The "f" word is used." Fraud, fake, finagle......
That Aussie thing was debunked last year.

The wildfires thing is a prime example of 'sceptics' arguing that black is white, if that's what it takes. Here they take up the long neglected cudgels for the argument that even if your region is largely on fire, that will have no impact on tourism. Ever thought you would hear anything like that argued in your lifetime? Me either.
All argued using a cite that says the opposite, of course, and simply ignoring the ones they couldn't find.
"The "f" word is used."
Is it "Frank"?
