My latest TownHall column is up. Lockerroom readers will encounter some familiar ideas, but this hasn’t been posted yet:
Contrary to popular perception, however, the IPCC won’t release the actual report until May. Friday’s the day the IPCC releases its Summary for Policymakers. Not only does the IPCC plan to give policy meddlers three months’ lead time without fear of challenge from what’s in the report (a problem previous summaries have suffered) ? they’re also prepared to edit the report after the fact. The IPCC procedures document says that “Changes (other than grammatical or minor editorial changes) made after acceptance by the Working Group or the Panel shall be those necessary to ensure consistency with the Summary for Policymakers or the Overview Chapter.”
