McClaughry: IPCC’s cyclone error

By John McClaughry

The United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is collection of climate scientists and government appointees that has issued six major assessment reports on the planet’s projected climate future.

Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. of the University of Colorado has participated in the IPCC’s work. In his blog two weeks ago Dr. Pielke wrote, “A high level participant in the IPCC has confirmed to me that the major error on tropical cyclones that I recently identified was indeed a major snafu and a result of claims being inserted into the IPCC outside its review process. Neither of these things should happen in a process that the IPCC promotes as the ‘gold standard’ of scientific assessment.”

“The error was to claim that a change in the proportion of Category 3-5 tropical cyclones has been detected and attributed to human-caused climate change, which is contrary to both evidence and the scientific literature. Even worse, in making the false claims the IPCC failed to acknowledge that that paper had undergone a major correction, which altered its conclusions and rendered it irrelevant.

“The false claim was ultimately elevated by the IPCC to the summary of its recent Synthesis Report where it was promoted as one of the most significant scientific findings of the past assessment cycle.”

This is yet another example of unjustifiable information peddled by the great science authority, the IPCC. Don’t expect our climateers to make a public apology.

  1. Nothing to see here folks.. it’s only a SNAFU .Data being inserted into the study without review should a crime if their proposing that we spend more money to fight the hoax. This is one of the many corrupt entities of the totally corrupted UN. Get the UN out of America and get America out of the UN. This isn’t the first incident that was fudged to promote their hoax either. They has been no warming in 7-15 yrs by two independent accounts. If you stop funding the hoaxsters the whole warming agenda will fall apart.

  2. AGW: Identifying religious dogmatists: They are ALWAYS right. They will tell you so ad nauseum. They will never debate points – Pointless, because they know they are right and you are wrong. And if you insist upon publicizing any view but theirs, they will demonize you, persecute you, censor you, get you fired – because you are sowing false information and confusing the public. Yes, that is a justification they have actually expressed publicly – that the expression of dissenting opinions, heresy, will confuse the public. Condemnation of apostates is virtually feral.

  3. Add Neil Oliver’s 5-20-23 clip on climate change to the list – and the conflicting information put forth by the United Nations’ IPCC versus an ever-growing group of scientists supporting Climate Intelligence (CLINTEL), an independent foundation that operates in the fields of climate change and climate policy.

  4. Mr. McClaughry…save this website for future reference…it’s a bit old, but it factually shows how much the indoctrinated Rockefeller descendants fund things climate. They inherited all their wealth, and now spend much on climate change LAWFARE. Much of this eminates from ONE strain of the descendants….she goes by her married name so no one really knows she is a Rockefeller (it’s not fair to print her name)….but LOOK WHO THEY FUND!….The Conservation Law Foundation…the CLF. And who was the lead instigator to get GWSA passed? The CLF was the entity, the brains behind the curtain. And much of CLF funding comes from….Rockefeller family, one biggie is in Shelburne Farms. They don’t have to worry of money….ever. Nor does the other uber rich inheritors from the VANDERBILT family…also of….you guessed it….Shelburne Farms.. Shelburne Farms IS the VT ground zero for funding $ all this Climate & WOKE nonsense.

  5. It’s all a lie. Always has been. The IPCC, the UN, Dems and our NOAA are all in on the fraud and fake data….and they have been doing it for about 40 years now. Their un-checked lies circle the globe (media) before the truth can cross the street. It is how they get power. Look what the FBI and CIA did to fraud in the Trump Russia Gate. All a lie.

    I urge all here to read this website which over the years has exposed the politicized fraud of global warming. And he backs all up with facts, stats and data:
