We climate scientists are not ecofanatics

The Times
"In the UK only about 26 per cent of the population believe the scientific consensus that climate change is happening and is man-made. ..Let’s be honest, sometimes the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change does get it wrong. It was an error to include a poorly sourced claim in its 2007 report about the rate at which Himalayan glaciers are melting;..." The IPCC process also makes it impossible for green propaganda to be slipped in."

Sir John Houghton in the Times (Bishop Hill)
"t's well worth a read, but it's amusing to note that he accepts the glaciergate errors, which you will remember involved the use of claims from a WWF report. At the same time Sir John also claims that:

...a report from Greenpeace or any other campaigning body would not be included because the science would not be considered robust enough.

Whoops.

There are also some interesting claims about the recent lack of warming being a function of El Nino and natural variation. "
