All warmist like Oxfam can do is to react with a sloppy research - money poured down the drain.<br /><br />What else can we say but pathetic as a reaction to the Oxfam study.

You would think the Oxfam intention through this report was to give a boost to warmists. <br /><br />Instead the whole impression one gets is the warmists lying on the ground dying with we skeptics swarm around them like vultures. <br /><br />This gives us a kick while warmists a new low in their depression.<br /><br />If this report is any indication, Oxfam must be squandering the money they get as donations.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553223153127316311.post-60268761193902837452010-03-24T08:05:26.620+05:302010-03-24T08:05:26.620+05:30Compare the networks:

Oxfam is one of those NGOs who pretend Climategate and the subsequent IPCC errors never happened. This is a comment from the Guardian who by no stretch of imagination a skeptic:<br /><br /> I have read the Oxfam report. Its style is typical of NGO’s that engage in political advocacy for “dangerous AGW” and all the references are from NGOs that are engaged in the same political advocacy.<br /><br />The report is riddled with ambiguities, for example, high rainfall events are increasing but the country is in drought.<br /><br />Example of ridiculous claims: “The main problem of melting glaciers is floating broken ice and debris which can block rivers and form glacial lakes and reservoirs and this is happening now.” The Geneva academic who wrote this has clearly never seen a glacier, and the accompanying picture shows (with inaccurate captions) minimal change in the Fedchenko glacier in 73 years.<br /><br />The report reveals more about the political orientation of Oxfam than it does about the social and economic problems of Tajikistan, which are very real. It is a pity that this country’s problems are being exploited for another political agenda.<br /><br />People are getting wiser every day about AGW and organizations like Oxfam a that continue to produce this sort of propaganda should be treated with the contempt that they deserve.Jonesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5553223153127316311.post-63238361347080917042010-03-23T18:29:16.031+05:302010-03-23T18:29:16.031+05:30The Oxfam report doesn't piss me.
