Below is his letter published at his site; extreme butt kissing and hand holding so as not to offend the powers that be for his pointing out that politician’s reps cut out all their wonderful work and left it lying on the in-the-self-interest-of-governments’ talking points floor, but here is quote [which reminds me of “If you like it you can keep it ACA talking points - and Pelosi’s “You have to pass the healthcare bill to find out what’s in it.”].
“........Over the course of the two hours of the contact group deliberations, it became clear that the only way the assembled government representatives would approve text for SPM.5.2 was essentially to remove all “controversial” text (that is, text that was uncomfortable for any one individual government), which meant deleting almost 75% of the text, including nearly all explications and examples under the bolded headings. In more than one instance, specific examples or sentences were removed at the will of only one or two countries, because under IPCC rules, the dissent of one country is sufficient to grind the entire approval process to a halt unless and until that country can be appeased.....”

The only question, of course, is one of whether the “controversial text” so eliminated showed the claimed effects were not nearly as severe (if they were significant at all) as the official version being used to push for legislation, taxation, treaties, and other sanctions which debilitate the industrialized world.
