Drama, panic, extremism, emotion, that’s what sells, actual hard data is boring as hell and you can not get anyone to do anything right now if it is not perceived as being an emergency.

I think we are getting a glimps into what is at the heart of at least one of the side elements of this Process in today’s news.

Cotour,

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is a panel of the United Nations. They may have a process (which seems to include drawing scientific conclusions based upon magazine articles written by non-scientists), but is that process any good?

Part of their process also involves writing an Executive Summary (which is what most people read, because they get bored reading the rest of the report) that contradicts the rest of their report. This gives the news media the impression that the report says something that is not even supported by the shaky evidence in the rest of the report.

With an economist in charge, are we likely to get better science out of them?

You are correct, Cotour. They have a particular end. The IPCC was founded as a biased organization, assuming that humans are responsible for some amount of climate change that must be adapted to or mitigated:
“to assess on a comprehensive, objective, open and transparent basis the scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant to understanding the scientific basis of risk of human-induced climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation”.

Adaptation or mitigation. Judging by proposals coming from the UN, it does not matter which. The UN obviously is seeking to increase its power over us (individually and nationally) so that they can direct us as to how to adapt-to or mitigate the unproved human-induced climate change.

” to increase participation by experts from developing nations and to explore ways to involve business and industry in the IPCC process.”

proc·ess1, noun: 1. a series of actions or steps taken in order to achieve a particular end.

The IPCC is about a particular end, and that end was decided long ago, they are just involved in how to accomplish their projected particular end.
