Washington (CNSNews.com) - A team of international scientists
Monday said climate models showing global warming are based on a
"fairy tale" of computer projections. The scientists
met on Capitol Hill to expose what they see as a dearth of
scientific evidence about global warming.
Hartwig Volz, a geophysicist with the RWE Research Lab in Germany
questioned the merit of the climate projections coming from the
United Nations sponsored Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC.) The IPCC climate projections have fueled worldwide
support for the Kyoto Protocol, which aims to restrict the
greenhouse gases thought to cause global warming.
Volz noted that the IPCC does not even call the climate models
"predictions" and instead refers to them as
"projections" or "story lines." Volz said the
projections might be more aptly termed "fairy tales."
