Co-Opting the US Department of Energy « Climate Audit
Maxim Lott of Fox News has an interesting article drawing attention to the co-opting of US Department of Energy funders by CRU and their associates – co-opting in the sense that the US Department of Energy totally failed to ensure that their grant procedures complied with US federal policy for requiring grantees to archive data.

This is off topic (because I couldn't find a link to send in a tip) to the subject in this post.
I noticed in email 4117, a guy from the agu is saying to AIACC Technical Committee and Mentors that the Rockefeller Foundation wants a good gender balance at some meeting.
Here is the exact text:
" would like your advice on which of the paper proposals to accept. Also your
recommendations for recruiting new papers to fill any gaps. First priority for recruiting
new papers would be from AIACC participants. But we can include a small number from outside
the group of AIACC studies. Recommendations of women are particularly needed - the
Rockefeller Foundation is keen for us to have good gender balance for the workshop at
Bellagio. For the submitted abstracts, only 2 have female lead authors, 13 male.
Of the 15 submitted abstracts, 12 appear to me to be suitable and likely to be good papers.
I think they will provide a good foundation for our synthesis."
Why is the Rockefeller Foundation determining what the gender makeup is at this meeting? And shouldn't the abstracts that get submitted have the best science no matter what gender is behind them?
