Climategate 2.0 clouds global warming threat

After reading McKitrick's latest study, no one with a shred of common sense would trust a word produced by this outfit.

For example, the lead authors are not chosen for scientific excellence, but for political reasons. Being a member of Greenpeace helps; membership in the World Wildlife Fund is even better. Lead authors are under no obligation to consider the full range of evidence on any topic. They are immune to independent analysis, and so often examine their own splendid work and call it peer review. If by some miracle, criticism of a report occurs, the lead author can simply overrule the objection. Many of these problems came to light in Climategate 1.0, but McKitrick provided overwhelming evidence that the IPCC procedures are hopelessly compromised. In several case studies, he showed how authors simply made stuff up in response to external criticism of their work.
