For AGW, peer review means Wikipedia?

More examples of AGW shenanigans:

Original Page 5 of the UNEP report given the Obama et al:



And the 'Hanno 2009' referred to above?

Nice to know that peer review includes anonymous Wikipedia contributors.

Perhaps equally surprising was the revelation that the graph’s author was not a climatologist, but rather an obscure Norwegian ecologist, Hanno Sandvik, who claimed no expertise regarding the data used in his graph. Misidentified in the UN report as “Hanno,” Sandvik politely distanced himself from the graph as the story unfolded. The UN report authors, meanwhile, had given a scientist they had never met or heard of the appearance of scientific legitimacy.

Re: For AGW, peer review means Wikipedia?

Just a Question - Does the rise in CO2 correlate with diminishing World Forests.
If yes - carbon capture through plants would seem cheap friendly and necessary.
Not much profit in it though

I don't have a handy link, but from what I recall reading previously - the historical evidence for carbon release due to loss of plant cover is very sketchy. For one thing, the surface area covered by cities is very small; for farms it is not clear that carbon is released vs. captured.

On the other hand the carbon released from fossil fuels is absolutely over and above 'pre existing' levels.

Of course pre-existing depends on your time frame: it seems very likely that said fossil fuels were extracted from the air and rock in ages past then subsumed.

But carbon capture through plant cover is problematic; consider how many plants would be required (mind you, new plant life above what is there today) to account for the 70 to 80+ million barrels of oil used per day.
