Climategate IPCC Regrets Blunders

In this BBC report, we see the IPCC representative Chris Field, co-chairman of the working group responsible for the flawed report, express regret for blunders appearing in the IPCC AR4 report. The IPCC representative also shows typical anger and arrogance in attempting to silence criticism from Professor Roger Pielke Jr. who states for the record that his work had been distorted and misrepresented in the now discredited IPCC AR4 report.

If the IPCC expert recommended Roger and miscommunication occurred, then yes that is a slip up.

But this BBC interview looks like whining.

The IPCC may have overlooked or more to the point, decided not to use this political scientist's expert opinion.

But so what? Why is this a problem?

If Roger is playing the role of the Honest Broker, then this action can be expected and is perfectly acceptable ( I read his book "Honest Broker").

The IPCC report has not been discredited. It is a 3000 page report. Two errors were found. In a report with some 10,000 pieces of information that is a very low error rate.

In addition, the two errors have no impact whatsoever on the main conclusion of the report.

This yet another manufactured controversy.

Field seemed unprepared for Dr. Roger Pielke, Jr. straightforward demand that the IPCC acknoweledge its errors and put in place the mechanisms to ensure that it does in fact represent the full range of perspectives from climate and atmospheric scientists.

Well done Roger. Its good to see a scientist with integrity speak on the subject of IPCC blunders and misrepresentation.

A+ Roger Pielke Jr.

Good for the BBC for showing the true colors of the IPCC on this stuff. The IPCC ought to know they are accountable for fraud and careless publishing of extremely questionable data. When the authors and reviewers of the report are not notified when last minute changes are made then there goes any credibility! How many times have we all heard the phrase, "but the IPCC's thousands of leading experts agree.." It's crap, only those involved in final editing are part of the consensus!

It's becoming more obvious by the day that it is not the IPCC telling policy makers but policy makers telling the IPCC.

They have not and will not be able to prove a link between the piffling amounts of man made C02 and world temp' either observationally or 'scientifically.'

The IPCC is therefore nothing more than a scary fiction publisher, used by governments to give the impression to the public that it's all above board, is peer reviewed, consensus, blah, blah.

Rumbled...Ha ha ha ha!
