IPCC Admits it Isn’t a ‘Gold Standard’ Body « NoFrakkingConsensus

If you go to this page on the IPCC’s website, scroll down about halfway and click the blue Current Bureau button you can see photos of these IPCC leaders for yourself.

No information is currently provided about Suzana Kahn Ribeiro (who represents Brazil) or Eduardo Calvo Buendia (who represents Peru). These people may possess top-notch scientific credentials. Or they may not. What’s noteworthy is that the IPCC feels no need to provide any evidence whatsoever.

Why is this important? Because, just a little lower down on that same page, under the Authors heading, it says that the IPCC’s Coordinating Lead Authors (chapter heads) and Lead Authors are selected by members of this bureau.

In other words, the people in those photographs make the most important decisions of all. They shape the quality and direction of IPCC reports when they decide which experts will be chosen to be lead authors and which will be shunned.

That’s what this IPCC statement means when it says, vaguely, that Bureau members are “authorized to take certain decisions.”
