A Most Important Interview: Stott

First, if I were asked what has been one of the most worrying, and disgraceful, aspects of recent climate-change science, it has unquestionably been the conscious attempt to bury the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) to ensure that there is not a significant historical phase warmer than the present. This is not the way science should work, and, in this context, Phil Jones’ cautious, and most welcome, replies are extremely pertinent

No wonder Al Gore says the science is settled. It predicts everything that has and can happen.

The Uncertain Fate of the IPCC - OnEarth Magazine, from NRDC

Opponents of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change tried strangling the IPCC in its cradle when the body was formed twenty-one years ago. Only hard-core climate change deniers are now sounding the death knell of their nemesis (as they have many times before), but support for the IPCC appears to ebbing, for a variety of reasons, and the future of the foremost science-based organization on climate change is in question.
