UPDATE: The interest in this appears to be so high, that the IPCC server holding the PDF report has crashed @ reviewipcc.interacademycouncil.net All links to it are down up now about 2 hours later. Thanks to Dr. Roger Pielke Jr. I have added the recommendations from IAC below the NYT story. Related: McKitrick: Fix the IPCC process
UPDATE2: Local copy secured, thanks to WUWT readers AdderW and Christopher Monckton download (full report 1.5MB) here:

Pre-release summary report (short form 90K) here:

UPDATE3: RealClimate breaks radio silence for this and posts for the first time in over a week with their typical “nothing to see here move along” meme. From their point of “It appears mostly sensible and has a lot of useful things to say about improving IPCC processes -” I assume then they endorse replacement of top IPCC officials, even though they make no mention of that point. I’m sure WUWT readers can ask their position, assuming such comments are allowed.

Flaws Found in U.N. Climate Structure
UNITED NATIONS — The scientists involved in producing the periodic United Nations reports on climate change need to be more open to alternative views and more transparent about their own possible conflicts of interest, an independent review panel said Monday.
…
The revelations about the errors contributed to the already highly charged debate about the science of climate change and gave added ammunition to critics doubting assessments that the earth is warming. Coming on the heels of leaked e-mails among some of the leading climate change researchers which suggested that they were manipulating data, the mistakes contributed to what surveys showed were an erosion in public confidence in the science of climate change.

In our eyes,,, yes. But it won’t be publicized, and our “Dear Leaders” won’t change their minds. Their minds are on the money, the revenue.

Yeup, that IPCC server’s crashed alright.
WUWT-induced IPCC crash.

That tells the IPCC that there are a HUGH number of eyes watching them now. I expect the next report will get the same sort of treatment the last one did by Donna LaFramboise at NoConsensus and her dedicated team not to mention WUWT, Bishop Hill, Climate Audit and the rest.
No one should take the report seriously until it has been completely dissected and analyzed by the “peer review” blogs that have now been set up to do just that. It remains to be seen whether the IPCC will try to pull another fast one, with the hopes that once the lies have been told and hyped by the tame media it does not matter that the truth is revealed, the propaganda has already done its work.
Propaganda also known as Public Relations:
”In everything he did, Bernays began with the basic principles of the psychology of his time, and not only his uncle’s. He felt that it was not reason but emotion and instinct that moved the common man, and throughout his long life he held onto the elitist view that those who understood this could and should control the masses. As he said in the first paragraph of his influential book Propaganda. “Those who manipulate [the habits and opinions of the masses]…constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country.”

I'm not yet convinced of that. It's like gay marriage. They expect the demographic swell of brainwashed public skool graduates to carry the political day. I don't know if we can undo that problem at the rate it is created. It makes for a lot of wasted energy.
Tx Ernest,
Many years ago, there was a problem with wine in Germany. Wine drinkers were getting fast high and headaches.
Germany officials decided to investigate.
They found that during the time of the 60/70s the precipitation was weak (low sunspot activity) and the sweet grapes were too dry.
Thus, the wine growers added sugar to their wine to sweeten the wine up. In turn, the wine drinkers got a quick high and an heck of a hangover.
I think the IPCC has been doping the wine. The hangovers are getting old.

It’s nice to see the occasional good news. Let us see how they sort this out. The global warming goons will not give up easily. Crooks usually have a lot of things up their sleeves and pockets.
