| University of Turku, Finland, Spots A Glaring Error In IPCC Report |
| 2010-04-23 |
| A University of Turku Department of Physics study shows that carbon dioxide has a significantly smaller impact on global warming than previously thought. Its results are based on spectrum analyses. According to research led by Professor Jyrki Kauppinen, increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide accounts for only 5-10 per cent of the observed warming on Earth . "The climate is warming, yes, but not because of greenhouse gases," says Kauppinen. According to him, projections made the UN climate panel, the International Panel on Climate Change, constitute a class-size error. The IPPC's calculated value is more than ten times larger than our calculated results, Kauppinen says. He intends to publish his results in the June issue of the magazine Nature. The UN Climate Panel claims that global warming is almost entirely the result of man-made carbon dioxide emissions. "I think it is such a blatant falsification," Kauppinen says. He is not the first IPCC critic. The Panel has had to admit errors, including the melting of Himalayan glaciers, in its forecasts. |

| #1 Water vapor has a far greater effect. Now, how can we twist this to create grant money and how can governments take advantage of this to increase their sway over the serfs by creating more agencies and more regulation and more money in their own pockets? |
