#1 The Fraud Bill, which aims to reform the existing statutory offences of deception, was introduced in the House of Lords in May 2005.

The Fraud Bill defines a general offence of fraud, with a maximum penalty of 10 years' imprisonment, as consisting of:

fraud by false representation
fraud by failing to disclose information
fraud by abuse of position
It also revises offence of obtaining services dishonestly (to fill a legal loophole, since a machine cannot be 'deceived') with a maximum penalty of five years' imprisonment, and builds on the existing 'going equipped' offence so far as it relates to fraud, to criminalise the act of possessing or making material for use in frauds. The Bill will also extend the scope of the existing offence of fraudulent trading.

#2 The Daily Mail put it much more clearly:

The scientist behind the bogus claim in a Nobel Prize-winning UN report that Himalayan glaciers will have melted by 2035 last night admitted it was included purely to put political pressure on world leaders.

Dr Murari Lal also said he was well aware the statement, in the 2007 report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), did not rest on peer-reviewed scientific research.

Or as Watt's Ups says, the science is scuttled.
