UN climate change expert: there could be more errors in report
The IPCC climate report was, it turns out, an error-filled mess. Yet this is the report that was given the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize! It was lauded for "two decades of scientific reports that have created an ever-broader informed consensus about the connection between human activities and global warming." Create the data, create the consensus! And Al Gore was the 2007 co-winner for his movie about polar bears playing with hockey sticks or something.
Isn't it about time for the Swedish Academy to junk the Nobel Peace Prize, which long ago became an embarrassing, politicized joke? If they don't want to do that, how about having it go to the winner of "American Idol," for bringing the world together to watch contestants sing and dance? That has a sort of peaceful ring to it.
