Scientists at the helm of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) have spent weeks on the defensive after e-mails uncovered by hackers revealed private messages in which they criticized papers relevant to their 2007 report. That behavior has led to accusations of bias, or worse, and undermined the credibility of the climate research community. Now the IPCC leadership is preparing its response, with steps that may include additional training for the authors of the next report, due out in 2013, and a review of the incident by an outside organization. At least one key scientist is unhappy with those options.
In December, the head of the IPCC, Rajendra Pachauri, said that the discussions in the e-mails raised "a serious issue and we will look into it in detail." Atmospheric chemist Pauline Midgley, a support scientist on staff for the 2013 IPCC report, says that officials asked themselves three questions: Were there problems with the IPCC's procedures for 2007? Were those procedures sufficient? Are changes needed in preparing the 2013 version?
IPCC never conducted a formal investigation of the issue, but the scientists who run the organization and their support staff members have looked over the messages, and found no evidence that the authors were lax in their review of the papers. Still, says Christopher Field of the Carnegie Institution for Science, a co-chair of one of the 2013 IPCC reports’ three working groups, it hasn't been "a particularly good period."
Still, he says: “So far in our exploration of this, and it is far from complete, this has been a stress test of IPCC procedures, but the IPCC procedures have held up extremely well." In December, 28 Republican members of Congress wrote to the United Nations, questioning whether IPCC could conduct a truly "independent investigation" of its authors’ behavior...

Good grief. These simple assclowns are sticking with their “global warming” scam?
They still didn’t get the memo that the jig is up?
As Carson used to say, "You bet your bippy."
Huh... I thought that was from Laugh In.
I’m old and confused... can somebody take me home?
You’re right!
The IPCC is not and never has been run by scientists. It is run by and for bureaucrats and politicians and for no one else. Science is their cover, but it is not their purpose.
They are going to send them to reeducation on how to commit better frauds next time.
The global warming scam has never been about science, it's been a scam all along to take money from YOU and put vast sums into the hands of American leftist like Obama's Czars for the purpose of making the world their playground.
The BIG LIE is much bigger than just the global warming scam, it includes HEALTH CARE, it includes Communist Loving Obama Czars who hate American capitalism, it includes taxing banks so the leftists can keep capitalism in check. Obama was so close to total control and it's starting to slip from his grasp.
We need another crises, quick, something to grab the headlines so we can pass the HEALTHCARE SCAM and get attention off the hacked emails. Obama can't afford to let you think, you might start to put it all together.
Yeah, that's right...train them to get their stories straight (wink,wink...nudge, nudge...you know what I mean?)
They can’t afford to recognize the upness of the jig. Their incomes depend on salvaging it all as do their retirements and in some cases maybe their continued nonresidence in jails.
These UNaccountable bureaucrats should rot in prison (if it was up to me a far worse fate would meet them). The crickets-chirping interlocking elitists/liars/anti-freedom/anti-truth/anti-life criminal SCUMBAGS in our republic should be ridiculed to their deaths (if it was up to me a far worse fate would meet them). Where is their POS frontman Al “No Controlling Legal Authority” “HE PLAYED ON OUR FEARS” Gore? He becomes the 2nd person in the Clinton administration whose grave I will piss on if I am still around when they die.
The damage they have done is incalculable.
