Christopher Booker, Telegraph
"The IPCC's attempts to hide the truth about its exaggerated claims on the deforestation of the Amazon have ended in defeat......Last week, after six months of evasions, obfuscation, denials and retractions, a story which has preoccupied this column on and off since January came to a startling conclusion. It turns out that one of the most widely publicised statements in the 2007 report of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – a claim on which tens of billions of dollars could hang – was not based on peer-reviewed science, as repeatedly claimed, but originated solely from anonymous propaganda published on the website of a small Brazilian environmental advocacy group.

The source of Amazongate (Dr Richard North)
"..the WWF have now been forced to admit that its source of information about the Amazon, on which the IPCC relied, was an anonymous tract on the webpage of an obscure Brazilian advocacy group – illustrated here and called Fire in the Amazon. This webpage is not based on any known or identified research and is not peer reviewed."
