U.N. Panel Caught in New Round of Errors

The United Nations panel on climate change is facing fresh criticism today as The Sunday Telegraph reveals new factual errors and poor sources of evidence in its influential report to government leaders.

 

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s (IPCC) report is supposed to be the world’s most authoritative scientific account of the scale of global warming.

 

But this paper has discovered a series of new flaws in it including:

 

* The publication of inaccurate data on the potential of wave power to produce electricity around the world, which was wrongly attributed to the website of a commercial wave-energy company.

 

* Claims based on information in press releases and newsletters.

 

* New examples of statements based on student dissertations, two of which were unpublished.

 

* More claims which were based on reports produced by environmental pressure groups.

 

They are the latest in a series of damaging revelations about the IPCC’s most recent report, published in 2007.
