This is the third of a multi-part series

Part III.

Previously, we looked at the IPCC and the role that politics plays in its election and report publication processes. We also looked at its connection with the Kyoto Protocol, which upon objective examination is nothing more than the forfeiture of western technology and knowledge to poorer countries in the interests of cleaning up the environment. Next, we took a look at the scientific techniques involved in reaching all of the doomsday conclusions and examined why many of these techniques were biased in favor of the conclusions they reached.

This is the second of a multi-part series

Part II.
Overview of the IPCC Climate change methodology.

Let’s start with what a couple of examples of modern, acceptable science look like today. The efficacy of birth control is generally considered effective if it works 98 - 99.9% of the time. The results of DNA testing are used in death penalty cases when the results demonstrate a 99.5% - 99.9% or higher probability of matching a criminal defendant. In many criminal cases that hinge on DNA, the statistical odds that the DNA matches someone else are nearly equal the number of people on the planet, or one in several billion.

Why should we accept anything less when discussing something of such global significance, which liberals argue will imminently kill us all in less than a generation if we don’t stop it ? Acceptable statistical probabilities generally hover in the 95% certainty range and this is an obstacle to the acceptance of any statistical evidence as conclusive proof of anything.

The evidence is in. The headlines proclaim:

“Global Warming Man Made, Will Continue”.

“Scientists Agree: Humans Causing Global Warming.”

Democrats are screeching “SEE… I told you so!” People are throwing around words like absolute and unequivocal to describe the evidence. The noses of Jacques Chirac and the US Senate have turned upwards in their indignation towards the fuel consumption habits of the American people, and someone - somewhere is probably saying “There ought to be a law.”

The recently publicized conclusions about global warming and the hysterics that followed were based on an executive summary released February 2nd by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This latest report is one in a series from the IPCC that has been released every few years.
