Begley and Murr supported those conclusions with “unequivocal” evidence of warming and “90 percent certainty” of human causation as the February 2007 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report said. But Newsweek left readers without an opposing view, including five scientists to support its position, but not a single voice of dissent. The magazine also did not question the IPCC report. But dissenting perspectives of the IPCC report and man-caused global warming theories do exist. One advisor to the IPCC Kevin Trenberth recently admitted that General Circulation Modules, the computer models the IPCC used in its February report, cannot predict future climate and claims the IPCC is not in the business of climate prediction. Others dispute man’s affect on receding glaciers, tropical storms and several weather. Even the radical environmental group Greenpeace stated that some glaciers have been retreating since 1850, long before SUVs existed. Left-leaning Chad Myers, CNN’s Severe Weather expert, said severe hurricanes were a result of natural cycles, not global warming in a May 23 segment. |
