Series of missteps by climate scientists threatens climate-change agenda

But recent revelations about flaws in that seminal report, ranging from typos in key dates to sloppy sourcing, are undermining confidence not only in the panel's work but also in projections about climate change. Scientists who have pointed out problems in the report say the panel's methods and mistakes -- including admitting Saturday that it had overstated how much of the Netherlands was below sea level -- give doubters an opening.

It wasn't the first one. There is still a scientific consensus that humans are causing climate change. But in the past year, a cache of stolen e-mails, revealing that prominent climate scientists sought to prevent the publication of works by their detractors, has sullied their image as impartial academics. The errors in the U.N. report -- a document intended to be the last nail in the coffin of climate doubt -- are a serious problem that could end up forcing environmentalists to focus more on the old question of proving that climate change is a threat, instead of the new question of how to stop it.

Two Republican senators who have long opposed a cap on carbon emissions, James M. Inhofe (Okla.) and John Barrasso (Wyo.), are citing the errors as further reasons to block mandatory limits on greenhouse gas emissions. Last week, Barrasso called for an independent probe into the IPCC, suggesting that the United States should halt any action on climate until it verifies the panel's scientific conclusions.

Inhofe said Thursday in the Senate that the Environmental Protection Agency's efforts to curb greenhouse gases should be reexamined, since the U.N. panel's conclusions influenced the agency's finding that climate change poses a public threat. "The ramifications of the IPCC spread far and wide, most notably to the Environmental Protection Agency's finding that greenhouse gases from mobile sources endanger public health and welfare," Inhofe said. On Friday, a coalition of conservative groups filed a petition to overturn the EPA's finding on the same grounds.

Obama is using the DNA to illegitimately pass a law that he cant get through Congress.

They call it regulation,but it has the same consequences as law.

Regulations are made by bureaucrats who actually take the law into their own hands.

How many times have St. Mary's County residents gone to Leonardtown for a permit and been hit by some regulation and stymied. The law may be on your side,but the regulation is on the side of the bureaucrat.

I can't even imagine all the time and money wasted on Al Gore's "chicken little" antics! He should be brought up on charges, imprisoned and all of his assets should be seized and sold for propagating his lies.
Of course, the same should be said about ALL the fools who believed what he said and went along with him.

Sooner or later,you are going to see a billboard, along an interstate with a huge picture of Al Gore - and inscribed with the words: "Miss Me Yet?"

flaws in that seminal report, ranging from typos in key dates to sloppy sourcing

Heres what I love best. The assumption that the dates were just mistyped, and the cherry picking of data was the result of sloppiness, not intentionally done to present the picture they wanted.
