The up-tick in global warming propaganda in recent days is to set the stage for the release of the Fourth Assessment Report from the International Panel on Climate Change. Surprise, surprise, the report will say the sky is falling – faster and faster.
For people who have watched this process since the beginning, this report, at least the executive summary of the report, is mostly hogwash, word-smithed by policy wonks and media specialists, to scare the gas out of the economy.
The First Assessment Report was developed by a fairly balanced group of scientists from around the world, and released in 1990. The report was quite extensive, and dealt primarily with capturing and storing carbon dioxide.
The Second Assessment Report was adopted by a fairly balanced group of participating scientists in December, 1995. Then, the lead author of the report, B. D. Santor, acting with the consent of the Co-chair of the Working Group, John Houghton, and with the consent of the Executive Secretary of the Framework Convention on Climate Change, Michael Cutajar – changed the report significantly, without the approval of the scientists.
Dr. Freidrich Seitz, President emeritus of Rockefeller University, and former President of the National Academy of Sciences, said:
“I have never witnessed a more disturbing corruption of the peer-review process than the events that led to this IPCC report. Nearly all the changes worked to remove hints of the skepticism with which many scientists regard global warming claims.”
