The IPCC’s Fake Review Editor

Donna Laframboise (Canada)
"But it turns out there’s a far more serious problem with Chapter 3. It lists includes a fake review editor – the people who are supposed to ensure that feedback solicited from external experts receives proper attention at the IPCC.

Over at his ClimateAudit blog, Steve McIntyre wrote about this more than a year ago but I missed it. A Freedom of Information request filed by retired UK engineer David Holland turned up an October 2006 e-mail from Kevin Trenberth, who was one of the coordinating lead authors of Chapter 3 (aka one of the two people in charge). It says, in part:

I am writing to protest the inclusion of Bubu Pateh Jallow as Review Editor…He played no role whatsoever in our chapter. He did not attend any meetings, he did not answer email and he should NOT be listed in my view."
