Climate Change: The IPCC In The Age of Speculation

Judge Lance Ito lost control of the O. J. Simpson trial when he allowed speculation without a shred of evidence. Defense counsel Johnny Cochrane was able to sow seeds of doubt by his speculations and it found fertile ground in the jury’s mind. The entire Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) structure and work was designed to convince the public either with no facts or falsely created ones. Once these were established the speculation of impending doom could begin.

Julia Gillard, Prime Minister cautious on climate change

Opposition Leader Tony Abbott said Ms Gillard was clearly going to continue with Mr Rudd's decision to delay an ETS despite agreeing with her former leader's rhetoric about the seriousness of climate change.

Voters can chill state global warming law - The Orange County Register

Fannie and Freddie attack clean-energy plan | Grist

The Obama administration has endorsed PACE with $100 million in stimulus-act funding. Twenty-two states have passed legislation allowing and encouraging municipalities to start PACE programs. San Francisco, Sonoma and Placer counties in California, and Boulder County in Colorado have all recently launched programs, and Los Angeles and San Diego are set to begin ones later this year.

[Julia Gillard] has also immediately declared that she will be fighting against global warming.

That's a truly ungrateful behavior. She was actually born in Wales, U.K., in 1961. After Julia suffered from bronchopneumonia as a child, her parents were advised it would aid her recovery to live in a warmer climate. The family chose to migrate to Australia in 1966, settling in Adelaide. (Copied from Wikipedia.)

So the warmer climate may have saved her life and allowed her to become a prime minister, too - because she would be unlikely to achieve the same thing in the U.K. How does she reward the warmer climate? She declares jihad on it. That's the Labor Party ethics.

The Reference Frame: IPCC 5AR: Working Group 1 authors chosen

Pachauri is still there but Jones, Mann, Briffa, Schneider are not. You still find the likes of Trenberth, Thorne, Comiso, Osborn, Scott, Hegerl, Wratt in the list.

The empty seats were not filled by any climate skeptics but rather by third-world (and third-rate) scientists who will be happy to be allowed to travel. They will be correspondingly grateful, too.
