The UN climate change panel has admitted to a new error in key climate report. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, IPCC, admitted in a note sent to AFP on Sunday that the 55 per cent figure was actually the portion of The Netherlands at risk of being flooded. It insisted that the impression did not affect the conclusions of the report.Earlier this month, the Dutch government had asked the IPCC to explain the figure, used in a landmark 2007 report. According to Dutch environment ministry spokesman, the figure used by the IPCC included 26 per cent area below sea level and 29 per cent area threatened by river flooding.It was a new embarrassment for the panel. The same 938-page Fourth Assessment Report also contained an erroneous claim that global warming could melt Himalayan glaciers by 2035.
