IPCC get it wrong again, and even their own scientists admit it
IPCC Rainforest eco-tastrophe claim confirmed as bunk ? The Register
Isn't it time this bull$h!t collective of liars, thieves, fraudsters and lunatics was disbanded ?
40 per cent of the Amazonian rainforests - dubbed the "lungs of the planet" by some for their ability to turn CO2 into oxygen, and also seen as vital on biodiversity grounds - might disappear imminently. This disaster would be triggered, according to the IPCC's assessment, by a relatively slight drop in rainfall of the sort to be expected in a warming world.
But now it has been conclusively disproven - so much so that even IPCC members pour scorn on it, though they haven't retracted or amended their original endorsement of it.
The baseless IPCC projection originated in a study produced in 2000 by hard-green* ecological campaigning group WWF.
"The way that the WWF report calculated this 40 per cent was totally wrong," according to IPCC member Jose Marengo, commenting on the new research.

"disproven" is a made up word which is not in the Cambridge dictionary as being English.

Oh wait ... "... An outside review of a U.N. panel -- promised after flaws were uncovered in the panel's most recent report on climate change -- will not recheck that report's conclusions and will instead focus on improving procedures for the future, officials said Wednesday. U.N. officials defended their decision, saying that there is still no reason to doubt the most important conclusions of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In a landmark report in 2007, the panel found "unequivocal" evidence that the climate was warming ..."

Of course, they never seem to mention the unequivocal fact that the planet is in close proximity to a star whose natural life-cycle will see it inexorably get warmer until its, and our ultimate demise. The Sun is unlikely to pay any heed to a tax demand though I suppose.
