More errors in the UN climate change document? Surely not. The science is settled. There is a consensus. How could the report have so many errors in it when its been so thoroughly peer-reviewed.

The Indian head of the UN climate change panel defended his position today even as further errors were identified in the panel's assessment of Himalayan glaciers.

Its almost like they just changed the data to fit the desired results.

And as a reminder, this report won the Nobel Prize in 2007.

UPDATE
The author responsible for this section of the report is now admitting this wasn't a 'mistake', the figures were included to put political pressure on leaders.

"In an interview with The Mail on Sunday, Dr Lal, the co-ordinating lead author of the report's chapter on Asia, said: 'It related to several countries in this region and their water sources. We thought that if we can highlight it, it will impact policy-makers and politicians and encourage them to take some concrete action."

Do we need any bigger smoking gun? This is no longer about science, its about scientists trying to bully the world into doing what they want, regardless of what the data might say. And they've gone out on such a long limb, that there is no climbing down now - they will fight tooth and nail to maintain their current power/influence.
