Via New Nostradamus;

The IPCC’s Fourth Assessment claimed that “there is strong evidence” of sea level rising over the last few decades. It goes as far as to claim: “Satellite observations available since the early 1990s provide more accurate sea level data… This decade-long satellite altimetry data set shows that since 1993, sea level has been rising at a rate of around 3mm yr–1, significantly higher than the average during the previous half century.”
Almost every word of this is untrue. Satellite altimetry is a wonderful and vital new technique that offers the reconstruction of sea level changes all over the ocean surface. But it has been hijacked and distorted by the IPCC for political ends.
In 2003 the satellite altimetry record was mysteriously tilted upwards to imply a sudden sea level rise rate of 2.3mm per year. When I criticised this dishonest adjustment at a global warming conference in Moscow, a British member of the IPCC delegation admitted in public the reason for this new calibration: “We had to do so, otherwise there would be no trend.”

(Emphasis mine.)

While reading various articles about the champagne & caviar E-Lovefest going on in Durban, I came across a number of entries from a particular Toronto resident. His latest is a letter to the Toronto Red Star. Here it is in full:

Re: Tories ready to abandon Kyoto deal, Nov. 29
I was at Copenhagen and I resent Environment Minister Peter Kent putting such misleading “spins” on critical matters. Elizabeth May counters with the truth:
1) Kyoto does include 191 countries. Only the U.S. is outside.
2) Most of the industrialized countries have met or exceeded their Kyoto targets. Canada is the only country to have repudiated its legally binding obligations.
3) The Copenhagen Accord, which Kent touts, is merely political “spin.” The non-binding pledges will lead to far more than 2 degrees C global warming with disastrous consequences for our grandchildren.
4) Canada is the first country to refuse to enter negotiations for a second Kyoto commitment, and the only country to ignore its legally binding Kyoto targets.
Most Canadians want our country to remain in Kyoto yet our government/oil corporations apparently plan to withdraw. Unless he changes very quickly, Stephen Harper’s climate legacy will be a wasted world for future generations.
Anthony Ketchum, Toronto

I know I’m just an ignorant Western hick but the hairs on the back of my red neck were tweaked while reading through Tony 4 “truths”. Would any SDA fact checkers care to shed some light on his statements?
Incidentally, Mr. Ketchum’s blog can be found here and more from him can be read/seen here and here. The latter link, a video, shows what an absolutely angry, totalitarian Leftist thug he truly is. To realize that this elderly man has gained little to no wisdom in his lifetime but instead based his entire worldview on a pack of lies is beyond sad.
