Controversy after controversy has been plaguing the climate change theory. One such controversy concerns The IPCC and its report about the Himalayan glaciers drying up. It concluded that about 40% of the people who rely on the glaciers for water will find life miserable. The report won the Nobel Prize and now it is found that the report was erroneous. The head of the panel, Dr. Rajendra Pachouri, has refused to accept responsibility and resign. Not unlike Barnie Frank and his Fannie Mae debacle. Dr. Pachouri pointed fingers at the Co-Chairs Dr. Martin Parry and Dr. Osvaldo Canziani who are no longer with the IPCC.

Syed Hannain, a scientist is appalled that obvious mistakes, like the area covered by the glaciers should have been there at all. When the glaciers actually cover 33,000 square kilometers, the reports mentions an area in excess of 100,000 sq km. Such glaring mistakes undermine the entire report. Considering the huge amounts of money involved in these matters, is it this cash which allows scientists to earn a steady income which compels them to not question fundamental flaws faster?

The administrators and politicians in governments are to blame too. With a lot of taxes being collected because of environmental regulations and concerns, entire economies are being damaged for perhaps fruitless science. Admitting this error would be a loss of income for these folks.

All this when there are an umpteen amount of other issues that need urgent attention, some are environmentally related. Issues like the unrelenting cutting down of vast jungles all over the world. Whales and fish being hunted and fished to the brink which is causing irreparable harm to the oceans.

The problem here is that these actions require spending money. If we squander vast sums for joke science, this will negate other vital pursuits. It will also cause widespread distrust between the citizens of this world. Sustaining the myth of climate change, on the other hand, will help the government coffers shine with piles of gold. Of course no one is really supposed to talk about this while entire industries are gutted.
