People send me stuff.
Here is slide 1 of a recent presentation in Finland by Rajenda Pachauri, head of the IPCC. I’ve added Gore’s An Inconvenient Truth for comparison.
What is even more troubling is how Pachauri presents his own SREX report on severe weather:
Pachauri of course completely ignores this part of the IPCC SREX report:
From Dr. Roger Pielke Jr., a few quotable quotes from the report (from Chapter 4):
- “There is medium evidence and high agreement that long-term trends in normalized losses have not been attributed to natural or anthropogenic climate change”
- “The statement about the absence of trends in impacts attributable to natural or anthropogenic climate change holds for tropical and extratropical storms and tornados”
- “The absence of an attributable climate change signal in losses also holds for flood losses”
The report even takes care of tying up a loose end that has allowed some commentators to avoid the scientific literature:
“Some authors suggest that a (natural or anthropogenic) climate change signal can be found in the records of disaster losses (e.g., Mills, 2005; Höppe and Grimm, 2009), but their work is in the nature of reviews and commentary rather than empirical research.”

What you expect of a railway engineer LOL
This sort of drivel from an insider like Pachauri surely indicates the AGW fever is starting to break even in the minds of the chief nutters themselves. One last desperate roll of the drums, one last setting up of the circus tent before the whole show gets consigned to history like Communism, Nazism and God inly knows what other loonyisms you can think of. Send in the clowns!

I’m sure you didn’t mean to tick-off the entire worldwide railway engineering profession. 😉
none in the audience with any knowledge of hurricanes at all?
Even when they plagiarize they dont fix the errors that have been noted in the original work… too funny…

They did and Obama sent them all for sensitivity training. (Sorry couldn’t resist)
The thought of rodeo types taking part in ‘sensitivity training’ especially if they are all in the same class? Oh, that poor instructor. I used to board a horse at a stable owned by a supplier of rodeo livestock who held training sessions…. The thought of that bunch taking sensitivity training? ROTFL
The words ‘Fly over Country’ takes on new meaning as the disconnect between the coasts and the rest of the country widens.
I wonder if Rajenda Pachauri has taken Al Gore’s presenter training.

=================================================
HE has the slide show too… so he must be a graduate… (snicker)
Well that was an exceptionally meaningless presentation. I’m sure it wouldn’t impress my 10 year old granddaughter. A few days ago we were sitting around minding our own business when for some reason the Weather Channel was on and presented a program which was trying to equate CO2-Venus with future Earth. It was strikingly baaad. My granddaughter immediately saw that the analogy didn’t hold – for one thing, Venus had been completely “paved over” by Volcanoes – and when I told her that the CO2 concentration on Earth had already been much higher than current, she gave a “well that ends that” kind of response. When I tried to explain to her that the apostles of CO2 catastrophe wanted to take us back to an imaginary world of peace and harmony, she immediately brought up the matter of “Unicorns and fluffy bunnies”, which I’ve never primed her with. Anyway, at least her responses were meaningful.
…responses were meaningful.
Pertinent to the discussion;

If a hurricane is spinning backwards….does that reverse time?
@Latitude–That’s exactly what first opened my eyes to this fraud. Gore not even knowing which direction hurricanes in the NH spin. If he’s got that rudimentary item wrong, the rest must be drivel–and he’s shown his ignorance with an incredible array of other items. For Pachauri to repeat it is, well, blatant incompetence.
Hello, 😉
The IPCC AR5 is ready to set sail from Southampton. Queue the Band and the Ice Berg.
Driv’n that Train
High on cocaine
IPSee is ready, watch yo speed
Troubles a head
Troubles be hind
And you that notion
Just crossed my mind
Dear IPCC,
Al Gore told me I was going to hell, but, am comforted in the fact that I will be too busy shaking hands with all my friends too notice the heat.
When it finally freezes over, I will be too drunk and have a pretty woman in each arm to feel the cold.
Yours in eternal damnation;
John
So sea level rise is now extreme event?

Four times a day we get an extreme!
That’s 1461(+3-1) per year!
That’s the equivalent of more than 4×10^2 Hiroshimas per parsec-fortnight* at the bottom of the ocean!
*Yeah. I know. Just go with it.
Pachauri is clearly echoing his master’s voice…
David Ball says: August 17, 2013 at 10:51 am
Hear! Hear! And well worth reading. IMHO, the IPCC has put the ultimate environmental advocacy cart way ahead of any evidential horses with no qualified “drivers” in sight. The same “playbook” was used here in BC in 2008 with the hasty introduction and implementation of the BC carbon tax (and a whole host of other rules and regulations bordering on legislated lunacy).
But back to Pachauri, the ‘voice and face’ of the IPCC, who a year ago had declared that climate change is “the 10-tonne gorilla which is in the room”. Turns out that, according to Pachauri, this “10-tonne gorilla” is merely:
How much worse than we thought could it get, eh?!
But do not despair, folks! Every cloud has a silver lining. Sometime prior to an address he recently gave to an audience of 1300 potential UN-ocrats of the future at a “session” of the Harvard Model United Nations (HMUN) held in India, Pachauri must have had an epiphany of monumental proportions. Pachauri pronounced (in an almost larger than life poster, no less) that …
TalentKeyHole Mole ….I’ll be grateful when the whole debate is dead ……and we can get on with our lives and less taxes
I dont wanna go all “conspiracy” on you, but that spiral… thats the HARP celebration of Obamas Nobel peace price reception in Norway 2009.
What does it mean? I dont know.

Good find! “You have the right to question science” sounds like an Obamaism.

Sure all the lib-left commie leeches will declare themselves unworthy of spending our tax dollars on their self indulgent political make work projects.. I somehow cant imagine this group of people removing themselves from the public teat any time soon.. They didnt go to university to get a real job.. University had no intention of schooling them for a real job..
Rebranded, renamed and resold to the chagrin of our self appointed layabout planetary saviours, the educated environmentalist.
