The International Panel on Climate Change was forced to admit its key claim that Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035 was lifted from a 1999 magazine article. The report was based on an interview with a little-known Indian scientist who has since said his views were “speculation” and not backed up by research.and that its chair
is a former railway engineer with a PhD in economics and no formal climate science qualifications.
As they say headlines like this and they still say it's the world's greatest newspaper.
UK climatologists “probably tampered with Russian-climate data” to produce a report submitted to world leaders at this week’s Copenhagen summit, it is claimed.
The Met Office’s study, which says the first decade of this century has been the warmest on record for 160 years, is being used to trumpet claims that man is causing global warming.
CAMPAIGNERS yesterday attempted to pour scorn on “tenuous” global warming theories by issuing a dossier detailing 100 reasons why climate change is natural and not man-made.
THE scientific consensus that mankind has caused climate change was rocked yesterday as a leading academic called it a “load of hot air underpinned by fraud”.
Professor Ian Plimer condemned the climate change lobby as “climate comrades” keeping the “gravy train” going.
The glut of tired shows and old films on offer from the four major terrestrial channels will be the largest number of repeats ever shown over the festive fortnight.adding that

BRITAIN was last night frogmarched into a miserable new era of meddling Brussels rule after the final remaining resistance to the hated Lisbon Treaty collapsed.
IMMIGRANTS who can barely speak English will be used to man the phones at emergency swine flu call centres, it was revealed yesterday.
As ministers prepare to launch a virus hotline this week, staff at the centres last night laid bare the chaos behind the preparations.
They said hundreds of people with few English language skills and no medical training will join the 1,500 team taking calls from the public.
Unbelievable
SCORCHING sunshine and signs of an upturn in the economy brought the feelgood factor back to Britain this weekend.
Boosting levels of vitamin D could cut the incidence of breast cancer by a quarter, bowel cancer by a third and it should be offered to the population as part of a public health drive, scientists say.
THE Scottish Sunday Express has enjoyed a long love affair with the people of our nation.
It is 81 years since the first edition of this great newspaper rolled off the presses in Glasgow.
Over that time, we have established a reputation for crusading journalism built on the twin cornerstones of honesty and integrity.
Scottish Sunday Express readers expect us to shine a light on the wrongs in our society, to expose the crooks, highlight the hypocrites and to give everyone the odd chuckle with the extraordinary stories that ordinary Scots so often have to tell.
We think we are pretty good at all that, and everyone involved in producing this newspaper takes pride in what we publish.
It is also hugely important to us that the Scottish Sunday Express reflects the feelings of the people of Scotland.
On March 8 we got that all wrong.
Our front-page story about the teenage survivors of the Dunblane massacre and their use of social networking websites has caused terrible offence, not only in that town, but across Scotland and around the world.
It is our belief that nobody was misquoted, but the story was undeniably inappropriate. It has upset the young people we named and caused great distress to their parents.
Where possible, we have spoken to the families involved and given them a heartfelt apology. Today we apologise to you, our loyal readers.
BRITAIN’S Olympic heroes could be forced to compete under the European flag at London 2012.
A group funded by the European Commission wants to see Team GB replaced with a single European Olympic squad.
As the Queen congratulated the team on Britain’s best Olympic performance in a century, it emerged that our athletes could even be asked to hand over their medals for display in the office of the EU President, a post currently held by French leader Nicolas Sarkozy.
Families last night faced the grim prospect of having to find an extra £700 to pay for their summer holidays.
The latest blow to budgets already being squeezed by spiralling bills came as the pound plunged to a record low against the euro.
Experts warned that the price of a two-week package holiday for an average family of four could rise by around £450. On top of that, spending on holiday essentials could shoot up by another £250.
Tens of millions of British people will experience their own credit crunch on holiday this year as the soaring value of the euro forces them to pay more for everything from the price of a coffee in a Parisian cafe to a hotel room in Barcelona. As currency traders pushed the European single currency to a record high against the pound yesterday, holidaymakers were coming to terms with the fact they now have almost a fifth less spending power on the Continent than a year ago.
Therefore says the paperAcross the country, violence, vandalism, theft and disorder are an everyday
menace, created by faceless gangs of youths with little fear of ever being
caught.
Streets, trains, buses and shopping centres have become no-go zones
for terrified citizens who have been intimidated by hoodies for too long.
the Sunday Express calls for a crackdown on this terrifying trend and demands
that police officers get tough and order hoods to be removed in public places.
Just as banks ban people from wearing crash helmets on their premises, we
believe high streets and public transport would be safer if hoods were outlawed
and exclusion zones imposed.
Reading today's Daily Express is a very odd experience
neither is there any mention of Diana, or Shannon Matthews' family, or Fiona McKeown. Heather Mills makes a brief appearance on page 13, but only as part of Ann Widdecombe's column. Nor are there any ominous warnings of wild weather. The Islamophobia is even toned down - though the paper could not resist a short piece by Cyril Dixon on p.14 reporting that there will be 'More attending Mosques than Mass by 2020'
The parents of Madeleine McCann are taking part in an ITV documentary to mark the first anniversary of their daughter's disappearance.
Cameras have been following Kate and Gerry McCann since January for the programme, which will feature extended contributions from the couple
HUNDREDS of former Gurkha soldiers who fought for Britain are living in poverty on less than £30 a week, the Daily Express reveals today.reports the paper
The brave warriors, all of whom loyally served the British Army for at least 15 years, are still being refused permission to work, use the NHS or claim benefits as they battle for the right to British citizenship.
Following the threat of legal action from Madeleine's parents Kate and Gerry over what their spokesman Clarence Mitchell described as a series of "wildly and grossly defamatory" articles, the paper, together with its Express Newspapers stablemates the Sunday Express, the Daily Star and Daily Star Sunday, has removed all references to the missing girl from its website search engine.
MILLIONS face water rationing and soaring bills as experts warned that Britain is heading for a drought crisis.
A growing population and increasing demand for water means that the country is as much at risk as the Sahara Desert.
Overcrowded South-east England is already suffering “severe water stress”, putting it in the same bracket as Saudi Arabia, North Africa, India and eastern Australia. But analysts fear that within 20 years a “parched zone” will spread across the country from the Bristol Channel to the Norfolk coast and north of the Midlands
Journalists in the NUJ chapel at the Daily Express and Daily Star have waged a uniquely brave and consistent campaign against their racist proprietor, the pornographer Richard Desmond. An inspiration to all journalists, time and again they have beaten back the papers' owners and managers.
But now Desmond and editor Peter Hill are using their control over the paper in a sustained campaign to whip up racism once again.
