Audi Super Bowl Ad: Working Both Sides of Street? | GlobalWarming.org

My suspicion is it doesn’t work. The Audi A3 TDI gets above 40 mpg, but its fuel still comes from Big Oil. The Gorethodox won’t be satisfied until cars are all-electric, and the electricity comes from solar panels and wind turbines. Even if levened by tongue-in-cheek, greener-than-thou feeds the perception that global warming is a “planetary emergency” and government must restrict our liberties to save us from ourselves.

Technology Review: U.S. Solar Market to Double in the Next Year

Details of shoddy science and dirty tricks abound. By the end, the committed inner core were confessing to each other that global temperatures were falling, but it was far too late to change course. The final stage of corruption, cover-up, had taken hold. For the core scientists and the leaders of the scientific communities, as well as for nearly all the liberal media, ‘the debate was over’. Denying Climate Change received the same stigma as denying the Holocaust. Even the trenchant criticisms of the most egregious errors in the IPCC reports were kept ‘confidential’. And then came the e-mails.

EU Referendum: The politics of climate

...developing countries such as India and China, with expanding industrial bases, have more to lose from a powerful IPCC – the Western nations having already sold the pass.

And if that is the case, there is an interesting schism building between the developed and developing nations, the former wanting to get rid of Pachauri, the latter wanting to keep him. Either way, this is a "win" for the sceptics. With the IPCC in disarray, torn by institutional strife, it will be less able to push its destructive agenda.
