Example of IPCC sexing up what scientists said.


This is how the IPCC ,(Nicholas Stern pictured), spun the lack of a human signal back in IPCC SAR from draft to publication. Deletions shown as strike-through, replacements in italics:

"Finally we come to the most difficult question of all: 'When will the detection and unambiguous attribution of human-induced climate change occur?' when the detection and attribution of human induced climate change is likely to occur. The answer to this question must be subjective, particularly in the light of the very large signal and noise uncertainties discussed in this Chapter it is not surprising that the best answer to this question is 'We do not know'.

So: "Finally we come to the most difficult question of all: When will the detection and unambiguous attribution of human induced climate change occur? Particularly in the light of the very large signal and noise uncertainties discussed in this Chapter, it is not surprising that the best answer to this question is 'We do not know'.

Becomes:
