Alarmist Joe Romm disses the IPCC

Green's talking points | Gristmill: The environmental news blog | Grist
Conservative think tanks remain oblivious and impervious to the facts. They cling to global warming denial and delay even in the face of the remarkable advances both in scientific understanding about global warming and in clean technology solutions.

We have seen that the Cato Institute remains intellectually bankrupt on both the urgency of the climate problem and the availability of cost-effective solutions. The Competitive Enterprise Institute actually runs ad campaigns aimed at destroying the climate for centuries.

And yes as you can see, there is no entrance examination for becoming an expert reviewer for the IPCC, and so as credentials go, it's right up there with being a member of AARP. Heck even TVMOB (aka The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley") has a "Nobel prize pin," because he commented on the IPCC Fourth assessment report, which "earned him the status of Nobel Peace Laureate. His Nobel prize pin, made of gold recovered from a physics experiment, was presented to him by the Emeritus Professor of Physics at the University of Rochester, New York."
