Alert the conspiracy theorists! In the latest bloody nose for the pro-global warming science community, more flawed data has been released showing that your average global warming/climate change report from the UN organization Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is about as accurate as your average seventh-grade book report. In this case, a factual error in a 2007 report says that 55 percent of the Netherlands is under sea level and at risk of catastrophic flooding. In fact, only 26 percent of the country is below sea level and 29 percent of the country is susceptible to flooding due to being near a river.
This comes in the wake of an announcement last week that the IPCC’s position on the melting of the glaciers in the Himalayas is incorrect, and that the belief that the Himalayas may melt by 2035 is based on information from a non-scientific source (AKA a guess). They’re attempting to pass the blame for this most recent set of bad data onto the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, but I doubt that will work. The damage from those leaked emails concerning the cover-up of inconvenient data continues to build.
