The UNs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change misled the press and public into believing that thousands of scientists backed its claims on manmade global warming, according to Mike Hulme, a prominent climate scientist and IPCC insider. The actual number of scientists who backed that claim was only a few dozen experts, he states in a paper for Progress in Physical Geography, co-authored with student Martin Mahony.
Claims such as 2,500 of the worlds leading scientists have reached a consensus that human activities are having a significant influence on the climate are disingenuous, the paper states unambiguously, adding that they rendered the IPCC vulnerable to outside criticism.
Hulme, Professor of Climate Change in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Angliathe university of Climategate fameis the founding Director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and one of the UKs most prominent climate scientists. Among his many roles in the climate change establishment, Hulme was the IPCCs co-ordinating Lead Author for its chapter on Climate scenario development for its Third Assessment Report and a contributing author of several other chapters.
