June 27, 2010  While most Ecuadoreans have run out of family members and new victims to manipulate…..they have plowed through and repulsed every sane human being….they now turn on themselves to self delude and manipulate. The last victims are the self deluding Ecuadoreans who actually enjoy pretending that vapidity is fun and that stupidity keeps family values growing. Never before have we seen such wholesale dumbing down of an entire nation. Global information is basically free across the internet to anyone who takes more than 3 minutes to self educate so Correa’s almost 100% shut off of global news matters not: each have the obligation to be well informed but Ecuadoreans are so happy playing the victim and telling us that Correa makes it so hard now to have the news. That may be true but the news is still there for any to lift one finger and have and hold. The real problem is remains mired in all Ecuadorean self-pretense that manipulative living is the best ever…when it is not. But in Ecuador, every single so called formal Report of and by the government of Correa is a fraud, based on non evidence and nothing honest. You can and should make a list of Correa’s fake governmental Reports. Not one of them is honest. What does this tell you???

Take for instance the widely held lie that the Amazon is itself a victim of global warming. While we do not deny the horrors of Ecuador’s refusal to have and hold refined gasoline and exhaust systems for its diesel and cheap noxious gas, the rest of the world knows that Ecuadoreans themselves pollute Ecuador and not the other way around. The United Nations has been selling Amazon rain forest lies for a long time because all Ecuadoreans are so lazy that none want to end their victimhood and deliver some actual facts about the Amazon. Indeed, the London TELEGRAPH reports again that the UN-IPCC Report on the Amazon is complete canard, lies, fake data, fake analysis… fake fake fake. In all Amazon so called claims, there is no scientific evidence. AS to the massive claim against Chevron, Correa of Ecuador shunted in the same fake data from his anti Colombia and anti DynCorp so called environmental report in to the so called environmental report used in the scum of all scum town called Lago Agrio where no cartel or Hezbollah crime goes unrewarded.

Amazongate: the missing evidence
The story of the IPCC's claims about threats to the Amazon rainforest takes another bizarre turn, says Christopher Booker

Last week the beleaguered global warming lobby was exulting over what it took to be the best news it has had in a long time. A serious allegation, which last January rocked the authority of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, was “corrected” as untrue by The Sunday Times, the newspaper which most prominently reported it. The reputation of the IPCC, it seemed, had been triumphantly vindicated. The growing tide of scepticism over climate change had at last been reversed. But this episode leaves many questions unanswered.

The “correction”, gleefully quoted by everyone from the WWF and The New York Times to The Guardian’s George Monbiot related to what was known as “Amazongate”. This was one of the series of controversies which exploded round the IPCC last winter, when it was shown that many of the high-profile claims made in its 2007 report had been based on material produced by environmental activists and campaigning groups rather than on proper, peer-reviewed scientific evidence.

One example, also reported in The Sunday Telegraph, was the IPCC’s much-publicised claim that climate change, leading to a reduction in rainfall, was threatening the survival of “up to 40 per cent” of the Amazon rainforest. The only source the IPCC could cite for this in its report was a document from the environmental advocacy group WWF. But last week The Sunday Times, in its prominent “correction” to its own story, conceded that the IPCC’s claim was “supported by peer-reviewed scientific evidence” after all. Not identified, however, was the nature of this peer-reviewed evidence. Where is it?

The story of “Amazon-gate” has unfolded through three stages. Step one was the passage in the IPCC report almost identical to one made in a non-peer-reviewed WWF paper of 2000 on forest fires in the Amazon. Specifically the IPCC stated that “up to 40 per cent of the Amazonian forests could react drastically to only a slight reduction in precipitation”. But the only source the WWF in turn had been able to cite to support this was a paper published in Nature in 1999, from a team led by Dr Daniel Nepstad, formerly employed by the WWF but now the “senior scientist” with another advocacy group closely linked to the WWF, the Woods Hole Research Center. Certainly Nepstad’s paper was peer-reviewed: however its subject was not climate change but the impact on the Amazon rainforest of “logging and fire”. It found that “logging companies in Amazonia kill or damage 10-40 per cent of the living biomass of forests”. This had nothing whatever to do with global warming but was cited as the origin of that “up to 40 per cent” figure later used by the WWF and the IPCC.

Step two, when all this was reported last January, was a disclaimer from the WWF, emphasising that its 2000 report did “not say that 40 per cent of the Amazon forest is at risk from climate change”. But it went on to say that the real source for its 2000 paper (which had been “mistakenly omitted”) was another paper, “Fire in the Amazon”. This was also written by Dr Nepstad, as head of yet another advocacy group linked to Woods Hole, the Amazon Environmental Research Institute. Although it was now being suggested that this paper should have been cited as the original source for the IPCC’s claim, it too was not peer-reviewed. Thus, twice over, the IPCC’s claim appears to rest both on non-peer-reviewed science and on studies not related to global warming at all.

So great was the IPCC’s embarrassment over these revelations that the story moved to a third stage. Various scientists, led by Dr Nepstad, suggested further studies which might justify the claim. But an exhaustive trawl through all the scientific literature on this subject by my colleague Dr Richard North (who was responsible for uncovering “Amazongate” in the first place), has been unable to find a single study which confirms the specific claim made by the IPCC’s 2007 report. If one exists we would very much like to see it.

There are several studies based on computer models which attempt to estimate the possible impact of climate change on the Amazon rainforest, but none of these have so far supported that 40 per cent figure. Other researchers in turn have been highly critical of these models, suggesting that they are too crude to replicate the complex workings of the Amazonian climate system and that all observed evidence indicates that the forest is much more resilient to climate fluctuations than the alarmists would have us believe.

Nothing did more to excite attention over the effect of climate change on the rainforest than the exceptional drought of 2005, just when the IPCC’s 2007 report was being compiled. Since then, however, abnormally heavy rainfall in the region has brought disastrous floods to Brazil, both last year and again last week.

In other words there is a real mystery here. Nothing so far made public seems to justify an assertion that the IPCC’s specific claim is “supported by peer-reviewed scientific evidence”. In view of all the controversy this issue has aroused over several months, it might seem odd that, if such evidence exists, it hasn’t been produced before. Is it not now a matter of considerable public interest that we should be told what it is?

AS A PERSONAL footnote to this sorry tale, no one crowed more hysterically over this story last week (or got it more wrong) than The Guardian’s George Monbiot. Inter alia, he accused me and Dr North of having been “responsible for more misinformation than any other living journalists. You could write a book on all the stories they have concocted, almost all of which fall apart on the briefest examination.”

I would remind him that, on the only occasion he tried to do this, boasting that it had taken him just “26 seconds” to catch me out, he was soon forced to apologise to his readers that he had got his point hopelessly wrong, and that I was right. Silly old Moonbat should learn when it is wiser to hold his peace.

As the above article states, the UN’s climate change report on the Amazon, while heralded as being fixed, is not fixed and remains a discredited piece of trash- unscientific and unfactual propaganda.

All of the UN’s efforts are sailing under one flag: the flag of selling fake carbon betting scams in Latin America and all places where persons enjoy putting their money in high risk speculations based on no due diligence ….because like Ecuadoreans, no one likes to read or research and so they buy these frauds. Correa is betting that you will not surrender your own stupidity long enough to see what he is doing about Ecuador’s carbon betting scam rackets.

More to the point about the UN’s fake AMAZON GATE is that Correa and Steven Donziger’s ECUADOR-GATE mirror each other. Both have fake, unscientific data to extort or sell carbon betting frauds and both have the full backing of liars and ninnyhammers from the Cuban-Chavez-Iranean proxy club plus the remarkably incompetent Choir of Liars from the Obama and Soros political and/or financial club also selling carbon betting frauds.

Whereas the UN’s Amazon report relies of fake data sold by the World Wildlife Federation {WWF], the Lago Agrio claim against Chevron Report  is hawked by Pablo-I love Che and Castro! Fajardo - Then again, the UN is sort of like a foundation. Both sets are lying.

But the major difference between the UN’s AmazonGate and Ecuador’s AmazonGate is that there are still some media which report that the UN’s Amazon research is factually dishonest. In Ecuador, none yet even care that their government lies a lot and that a huge scam of a lawsuit is underway in Lago Agrio to extort an American company. Alejandro Ponce Jr thinks this is  agood thing to defraud capitalism. Rafael Correa thinks so too. We at ECrisis think that the US Embassy, the government of Ecuador and all parties thereto must cease and desist their support for extortionh rackets and fraud in Lago Agrio. The facts are freely available. There is no excuse for ignorance and we swear: it never leads to bliss- just more problems. You can of course verify this. Ask Alejandro Ponce Sr if he has bliss in his days with his family. You think the game plan of manipulating whole families and law firms is a helpful, healthy thing and makes one happy? This is a role model? Go ahead- ask. Manipulative living never gets you what you think it will and eventually disgrace is what you end up with. Just look at Rafael Correa’s profoundly dysfunctional, manipulative family. His life is a disgrace of no honor and no valor, which is what happens to manipulative families.
