Climate deniers began working to undermine the fifth Climate
Assessment from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) even
before the first part of the report was released on September 27. A
plethora of media outlets, politicians and business interests are
employing a barrage of misinformation tactics to undermine the report.
A misguided article published in The Telegraph
made that outlandish claim that, “There is no other evidence out there
that global warming is any kind of problem. That it exists only in the
imagination of the people who programme those computer models and the
scientists who contribute to the theory that anthropogenic CO2 is a
problem.”
