The U.N.
process is designed to generate alarmist results. Many people don’t
realize that the most-publicized documents of the U.N. reports are not
written by scientists. In fact, the scientists who work on the
underlying science are forced to step aside to allow partisan political
representatives to develop the “Summary for Policy Makers.” It is
scrubbed to minimize any suggestion of scientific uncertainty and is
publicized before the actual science is released. The Summary for Policy
Makers is designed to give newspapers and headline writers around the
world only one side of the debate.
Yet those who raise valid
questions about the very real uncertainties surrounding the
understanding of climate change have their motives attacked, reputations
savaged and livelihoods threatened. This happens even though
challenging prevailing beliefs through open debate and critical thinking
is fundamental to the scientific process.
The intellectual
dishonesty of senior administration officials who are unwilling to admit
when they are wrong is astounding. When assessing climate change, we
should focus on good science, not politically correct science."
