If nothing else, we see the persistance of this world-control behemoth that has been incrementally moving toward its goal for decades. It is unmoved by political setbacks, scientific argument or the will of the people. It takes no prisoners, somehow creates bottomless funding, and steamrolls forward regardless of simple facts that obliterate its entire reason for being. It also ignores the damage it is causing to the economies and to the peoples of the world.
Why would it care? In fact this is its goal.

Interesting response being sent by Dr. Judith Curry to the United States House of Representative Subcommittee:

So in one sense, the IPCC process is “working” in terms of garnering support for the UNFCCC treaty. But as a scientific assessment of climate variability and change and the vulnerabilities to climate change, I would judge the IPCC process not to be working. I don’t think that the IPCC can be repaired without a major overhaul of its justification and organization. For an IPCC under the auspices of the UN, I would recommend that the WG I assessment be undertaken under the auspices of the WMO/WCRP (and not the UNEP and UNFCCC).
