IPCC's Summary Report Violates Basic Scientific Principles
Posted by Dave Blount at February 4, 2007 11:23 AM
The War on Weather got a big boost Friday with the release of the hysterical International Panel on Climate Change's Summary for Policymakers. Like all global warming propaganda, it is bogus.
According to Richard Lindzen, a professor of atmospheric science at MIT, the report is primarily the work of political appointees, not scientists. The full text that this Summary supposedly summarizes will not be available for months. Appallingly, changes are to be made as necessary to make it correspond to the Summary.
In other words, political hacks produce the conclusions, and scientists are instructed to cook the data to produce the proof afterwards. This is what passes for science when it comes to global warming.
As Lindzen observes:
If you were doing that with a business report, the federal trade commission would be down your throat.
Harvard University physicist Lubos Motl describes the Summary this way:
These people are openly declaring that they are going to commit scientific misconduct that will be paid for by the United Nations. […] If they find an error in the summary, they won't fix it. Instead, they will "adjust" the technical report so that it looks consistent.
Senator James Inhofe (R-OK) is fed up with the IPCC's "systematic and documented abuse" of the scientific process in the interests of stoking global warming hype. But the Summary will receive a warmer welcome from irresponsible Democrats eager to exploit any opportunity to raise taxes, increase government control over industry, and stick it to the "capitalist exploiters" who provide us with our high standard of living.
Screeched Senator Babs Boxer (D-CA):
If we fail to take action on global warming now, we can expect future catastrophic impacts like rising sea levels, more extreme weather events of all kinds, damage to coral reefs and fisheries [blah blah blah blah…]
"To take action" would mean deliberately hobbling our economy. Democrats love the poor so much, they want us all to be poor.
