Climategate 4.0? UN IPCC 'pause deniers' cover-up no global warming for past 20 years

According to a peer-reviewed paper just published in Nature Climate Change, there has been no statistically-significant global warming for the past 20 years. As noted by Dr. Judith Curry, "we see where ‘pause denial’ has led the IPCC, potentially to a crisis point in the AR5."

"Judging by the drafts circulated this year, [the IPCC] is in full denial mode. Its own figure reveals a discrepancy between models and observations, yet its discussion says something entirely different. On page 9 of Chapter 1 it explains where the numbers come from, it talks about the various challenges faced by models, and then it sums up the graph as follows: “In summary, the globally-averaged surface temperatures are well within the uncertainty range of all previous IPCC projections, and generally are in the middle of the scenario ranges.” Later, in Chapter 9, it states with “very high confidence” that models can correctly simulate global surface temperature trends.’"

World's 'top' climate scientists told to 'cover up' the fact that the Earth's temperature hasn't risen for the last 15 years

  • Leaked United Nations report reveals the world's temperature hasn't risen for the last 15 years

  • Politicians have raised concerns about the final draft

  • Fears that the findings will encourage deniers of man-made climate change


Scientists working on the most authoritative study on climate change were urged to cover up the fact that the world’s temperature hasn’t risen for the last 15 years, it is claimed.

A leaked copy of a United Nations report, compiled by hundreds of scientists, shows politicians in Belgium, Germany, Hungary and the United States raised concerns about the final draft.

Published next week, it is expected to address the fact that 1998 was the hottest year on record and world temperatures have not yet exceeded it, which scientists have so far struggled to explain.

The report is the result of six years’ work by UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which is seen as the world authority on the extent of climate change and what is causing it – on which governments including Britain’s base their green policies.

Concerns: Scientists have been urged to cover up the fact that the Earth's temperature hasn't risen for the last 15 years amid fears it would provide ammunition for deniers of man-made climate change

But leaked documents seen by the Associated Press, yesterday revealed deep concerns among politicians about a lack of global warming over the past few years.

Germany called for the references to the slowdown in warming to be deleted, saying looking at a time span of just 10 or 15 years was ‘misleading’ and they should focus on decades or centuries.

Hungary worried the report would provide ammunition for deniers of man-made climate change.

  2. I know I'm a little late to comment here, but you all how this will be argued.

    - If it gets warmer -> "We must do more to prevent it".

    - If it stays the same -> "The implemented measures against warming is working, so we must do more".

    - If it gets colder -> "The implemented measures against warming is working, but we must still do more".
