Climate scientists are angry and disgusted and some have had enough of ongoing scientific fraud. The latest culprit they're exposing is the formerly credible Times Atlas of the World published by HarperCollins.

Despite hucksters like Al Gore hawking man-made global warming to trick an uninformed public into lining his—and other's—pockets with ill-gotten gain, there is no consensus that human activity and technology has affected the climate in any significant way.

Respected scientists and Nobel laureates [See "Famous Nobel laureate resigns over man-made global warming"] are now openly blasting the data compiled and massaged by researchers who desperately kept the fraud alive in a bid to squeeze more government grants from the West. In the process they created industries consumers didn't want, forced propaganda on elementary schoolchildren, and created thousands of pieces of legislation inhibiting the growth of economies and the liberties of millions.

Finally, a breakthrough experiment by CERN in Geneva, Switzerland proved that man-made global warming is a bad hypothesis and bad science. Climate change is primarily driven by solar particles interacting with clouds.

Greenland ice loss greatly exaggerated

The latest scandal with World Atlas is indicative of how widespread the fraud had traveled.

Climate researchers pay close attention to the Greenland ice sheet as a major indicator of warming in the northern latitudes and a harbinger of a possible future rise in the world's sea levels.

Another concern is that the fresh water melting into the Atlantic could reduce the salinity of the water and cool down the Gulf stream effectively shutting it down. The Gulf Stream is a current that acts like an underwater conveyor belt bringing warm Atlantic waters up to Northern Europe, especially Great Britain. If the Gulf Stream greatly slowed or stopped much of the British Isles could become unlivable.

Writing on its website September 19, 2011, HarperCollins stated: "While global warming has played a role in this reduction [of Greenland ice], it is also as a result of the much more accurate data and in-depth research that is now available."

Skeptical scientists immediately challenged the publisher's assertion, among them Poul Christoffersen, glaciologist at the Scott Polar Research Institute (SPRI) at the University of Cambridge.

Christoffersen told Reuters News Service, "We believe that the figure of a 15 percent decrease in permanent ice cover since the publication of
