In letters on July 24, 'Why Climate-change denial matters', the author needs a little more input! For example from where will the water come to raise sea levels in Bangkok when yesterday's headlines screamed.. 'Worst Polar ice conditions in 20 years forc
A carefully planned, 115-day scientific expedition on board the floating research vessel, the CCGS Amundsen, has been derailed as the icebreaker was called to help resupply ships navigate heavy ice in Hudson Bay. The icebreaker has been re-routed to escort commercial ships en route to resupply communities in Northern Quebec on the eastern side of Hudson Bay, as ice conditions in the area are the worst seen in 20 years. And, it’s mid summer.
With reference to the often used ‘97% of scientists concur’, a major peer-reviewed paper by four senior researchers has exposed grave errors. They pointed out that the 97% number had appeared in a new and unknown journal. (Suspicious)? The researchers were led by top climatologist Dr David Legates. Their paper was published in the respected ‘Science and Education’ journal and it clearly demonstrated that number was not 97.1%, as claimed, but only 0.3%!
