I am always amazed at how whenever some “denier” like myself expresses skepticism about global warming alarmism we are always referred to the “consensus” as represented by the IPCC. This is similar to referring someone to a panel on cancer and smoking that was established by the tobacco industry. The IPCC is the Intergovernmmental Panel on Climate Change–so it is an organization of representatives from governments. Some are scientists some are not and very few, about 20 percent according to radical alarmist and former Duke dean William Schlesinger, are climate
scientists. All of them are appointed by the governments that they represent and all of these governments would like to gain more control over their citizens. Given this reality, why in the world should we ever expect that the IPCC come to any conclusions other than those that would support larger governments with increased control over their populations? We shouldn’t, and it never does.
