UN claim of rising temperature wrong

It is also said that the Chairman of IPCC cooked up facts to corner grants. It is also reported that The Energy and Resources institute (TERI) headed by the Chairman received over 310,000 pounds grants from Carnegie Corporation of NEW York and from European Union. With regard to the UN claim of global warming, new research casts doubt on the UN climate data, suggesting that the world may not be warming at all as stated. The IPCC wrongly linked the warming to floods.

In Indian scenario, it is reported that the year 2009 has been the hottest year ever recorded in India. The long-term annual average temperature was 0.913 degree C in 2009 as compared to 0.514 degree C in 1998. The coastal regions recorded the most increase. It is difficult to say that the temperature rise is due to human activities alone. In the global scenario, of the 12 hottest years in the century, 11 have been in the past 2 decades. Probably, rate of rise in temperature has marginally increased over the last two decades.

However, the blunders committed by the IPCC do not change the overall global picture of some small rise in the average global temperature. Concerted efforts are required in cutting back on greenhouse gas emissions, particularly in the power sector. Fossil fuel plants should be phased out slowly and concerted efforts should be made to develop renewable energy resources, like wind and solar and environmentally clean nuclear power.
