Vice Chair of IPCC Breaks Global Warming Consensus
The much-vaunted consensus over global warming shattered like ice
last week, when the Russian vice chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) penned an op-ed for Ria Novosti news agency
questioning the "panic over global warming."
"I think the panic over global warming is totally unjustified. There is no
serious threat to the climate," wrote Academician of the Russian Academy of
Sciences Yuri Izrael in a commentary published by RIA Novosti April 18.
Academician Izrael is the head of the Institute of Global Climate and Ecology in
Russia, and one of three vice-chairmen of the IPCC, the international body whose
reports have claimed that human-induced global warming is a scientific
certainty.
"There is no need to dramatise the anthropogenic impact, because the climate
has always been subject to change under Nature's influence, even when humanity
did not even exist," Izrael wrote. He does not dismiss that there are changes in
climate going on, but writes that "we are more threatened by the cold than by
global warming", given that the present interglacial period has lasted beyond
the normal interglacial periods of 10,000 years, which separate the 100,000-year
periods of glaciation. This cycle has been going on for 2 million years,
contrary to the hysteria spread by the Chicken Littles of "global warming".
