How many more hits can the IPCC take before they lose their credibility?”
If you look at the facts, you’ll see why many knowledgeable people feel the IPCC has no credibility left to lose: • The “summary” was written by politicians, not scientists. • The “summary” was written before the full report was available. • Many scientists asked to have their names removed from the report when they saw the summary. • The IPCC refused to remove any names. • The IPCC report relies on informal statements and non-reviewed, non-published writings what the speakers and authors have since retracted. • The scientists the IPCC relies on most have never made their data available to anyone else to check it, even though the law requires them to do so (think about that for a minute). I don’t believe any of these facts is even in dispute.
