The UN’s top climate change body, The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has made a stunning admission. It has issued an unprecedented apology over its flawed prediction that Himalayan glaciers were likely to disappear by 2035. It has now emerged that the prediction in its landmark 2007 report was “poorly substantiated” and resulted from a lapse in standards. “In drafting the paragraph in question the clear and well-established standards of evidence, required by the IPCC procedures, were not applied properly,” the panel said. “The chair, vice-chair and co-chairs of the IPCC regret the poor application of IPCC procedures in this instance.”
So, in the global warming debate- is the debate not over after all?

Good that at least they acknowledged that much. Looking back at Y2K which has lots of similarities of this environmental scaremongering, we can safely say they will do anything to for money. They are all out there to exploit us through fear and intimidation if other ways does not work.
