Scientific Malpractise At The IPCC Continues

In today's Daily Mail:

[Dr Murari Lal] ... the scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.

And the furious finger pointing continues. But the sad part of it all is that the totally unsubstantiated glacier prediction passed the review of well over 500 scientists, bureaucrats and, indeed, the IPCC.

Dr Lal said: ‘We knew the WWF report with the 2035 date was “grey literature” [material not published in a peer-reviewed journal]. But it was never picked up by any of the authors in our working group, nor by any of the more than 500 external reviewers, by the governments to which it was sent, or by the final IPCC review editors.’In fact, the 2035 melting date seems to have been plucked from thin air.
