The sky is falling, the sky is falling!
The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
- H. L. Mencken
The media seem to be operating under the misapprehension this is equivalent to the release of IPCC Working Group I Contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report: Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis -- this is regrettably neither true nor even close to the truth.
Bizarrely, the actual report will be retained for another three months to facilitate editing -- to suit the summary!
IPCC procedures state that: Changes (other than grammatical or minor editorial changes) made after acceptance by the Working Group or the Panel shall be those necessary to ensure consistency with the Summary for Policymakers or the Overview Chapter (Appendix A to the Principles Governing IPCC Work, p4/15) -- this is surely unacceptable and would not be tolerated in virtually any other field.
[Junkman's notes]
The UN would eagerly engage in any enterprise that would weaken capitalist economies around the world.

They are just part of it. Throw in the far-left, academia, and every other body that lives off of tax dollars. The ruse of global warming as some kind of monolithic unique occurance due to man, is their red herring to capture those big grant dollars and any other tax dollar they can grab....save the world....just give us tax dollars and we will.
As if the world has not been cyclic thermally since its creation....
Global warming and terrorists being the two main hobgoblins.
The IPOC is part of the UN.
The board of directors are all no name foreigners from insignificant nations.
One American woman named Solomon on one of the committees.
they have a web site. Check it out. It even gives directions as to how to write research articles using terms that generally overstate the actual findings.
Great article. I believe this link was posted before on Free Rpublic, but it is worth repeating. It is the best and most comprehensive explanation of climate change. Unfortunately the science of global warming has become more political than analytical.
Well, that's the bottom line. What would we expect from the UN, seriously?
"WHY AM I SKEPTICAL ABOUT MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING?"
You evidently have a few brain-cells left. That or you are not a socialist.
You're right. I haven't seen any evidence that terrorism is real.
With Ipods, Itunes, and the Google filling algore's coffers, algore swings a heavy bat for the socialists...
It's also good cover if global warming is natural and nothing we do slows it down.
What's more challenging, changing the Earth's weather or making Muslims not hate Jews and Americans? Both impossible. Therefore two endless supplies of Hobgoblins. I guess, being a Dungeonmaster I really resonate to the concept of hobgoblins. You can kill em without feeling bad.
Didn't he invent Ipods?
I'd really like to hear some level headed scientific responsee to this report.
Now that we've established that, there is no point in spending another cent on funding global warming science. We can now divert the $billions in grants and studies that would have gone to that to other science. What would be the point in more global warming science when its now all agreed, and unequivocal, and will never ever ever be proven otherwise?
It doesn't matter how rich the guy is, he's a dingbat.
