The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change misled the press and public into believing that thousands of scientists backed its claims on manmade global warming, according to Mike Hulme, a prominent climate scientist and IPCC insider. The actual number of scientists who backed that claim was “only a few dozen experts,” he states in a paper for Progress in Physical Geography, co-authored with student Martin Mahony.

Claims such as ‘2,500 of the world’s leading scientists have reached a consensus that human activities are having a significant influence on the climate’ are disingenuous.

Now this certainly doesn't put to rest the AGW theory. But it sure puts another gaping hole into the good ship IPCC-Titanic hull of credibility as a source of information on this topic.

One might think that those "stolen e-mails" might not be so stolen after all.
