Seems more and more real scientists are recognizing the the IPCC is just a political organization primarily interested in global politics and money with no interest in science many have joined the GWPF which is truly all about science and not politics. Recently another world class climatologist joined their ranks http://judithcurry.com/2014/05/03/lennart-bengtsson-speaks-out/#more-15421 The whole concept behind IPCC is basically wrong. – Lennart Bengtsson Last week, The Global Warming Policy Foundation (GWPF) issued a press release that Lennart Bengtsson joints the GWPF’s Academic Advisory Council. Exceprts: The Global Warming Policy Foundation is pleased to announce that Professor Lennart Bengtsson, one of Sweden’s leading climate scientists, has joined the GWPF’s Academic Advisory Council. Professor Lennart Bengtsson has a long and distinguished international career in meteorology and climate research. He participated actively in the development of ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasting) where he was Head of Research 1975-1981 and Director 1982-1990. In 1991-2000 he was Director of the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology in Hamburg. Since 2000 he has been professor at the University of Reading and from 2008 the Director of the International Space Science Institute in Bern, Switzerland. Professor Bengtsson has received many awards including the German Environmental Reward, The Descartes Price by the EU and the IMI price from the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO). He is member of many academies and societies and is honorary member of the American Meteorological Society, the Royal Meteorological Society and European Geophysical Union. His research work covers some 225 publications in the field of meteorology and climatology. In recent years he has been involved with climate and energy policy issues at the Swedish Academy of Sciences. For those not familiar with the GWPF http://www.thegwpf.org/ We have developed a distinct set of principles that set us apart from most other stakeholders in the climate debates: The GWPF does not have an official or shared view about the science of global warming – although we are of course aware that this issue is not yet settled. On climate science, our members and supporters cover a broad range of different views, from the IPCC position through agnosticism to outright scepticism. Our main focus is to analyse global warming policies and their economic and other implications. Our aim is to provide the most robust and reliable economic analysis and advice. We regard observational evidence and understanding the present as more important and more reliable than computer modelling or predicting the distant future.
Not only do you not read the science, Jackdog, you don't even read your own sources. The GWPF is not a scientific organization, has never been a scientific organization, and has never claimed to be a scientific organization. As the name implies, they are interested in policy, not in science. Who's been feeding you these lies?
IPCC 1990 predictions vs reality. wrong as usual of course. No wonder ethical scientists are jumping ship source for data http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/publications_ipcc_first_assessment_1990_wg1.shtml http://www.cru.uea.ac.uk/cru/data/temperature/ http://www.esrl.noaa.gov/gmd/ccgg/trends/
