Title: Peer Review! And How White People Are Racist Simply by Being Alive

THE United Nations climate science panel faces new controversy for wrongly linking global warming to an increase in the number and severity of natural disasters such as hurricanes and floods.

It based the claims on an unpublished report that had not been subjected to routine scientific scrutiny — and ignored warnings from scientific advisers that the evidence supporting the link too weak. The report's own authors later withdrew the claim because they felt the evidence was not strong enough.

The claim by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), that global warming is already affecting the severity and frequency of global disasters, has since become embedded in political and public debate. It was central to discussions at last month's Copenhagen climate summit, including a demand by developing countries for compensation of $100 billion (£62 billion) from the rich nations blamed for creating the most emissions.

Ah yes. The $100 billion indulgence to pay for our sins because it must be assumed by rote that if brown people die white people must be killing them. Even natural disasters are the fault of white people.

It's Bush and Rove's fault.  I wish they never would have built their earthquake and hurricane machines.

The "money quote":

Despite this change the IPCC did not issue a clarification ahead of the Copenhagen climate summit last month. It has also emerged that at least two scientific reviewers who checked drafts of the IPCC report urged greater caution in proposing a link between climate change and disaster impacts — but were ignored

Hasn't the IPCC disbanded in shame yet.........virtually everything that they have reported is either false, plagiarized, manipulated, or just plain wrong......

Note to IPCC.......you are no longer credible, and therefore anything that you propose will be summarily dismissed.

Of course, because the core assumption underlying everything liberal is that ancient Ur-chestnut of racism - the White Man's Burden (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_mans_burden).
