Watson has been an outspoken proponent of the idea that fossil fuel emissions contribute to rising global temperatures.

Then he's an ass. Glad he got dumped - maybe a real scientist will get the seat.



He has led the panel since 1996 and is also the chief scientist of the World Bank.

And the horse he rode in on, the World Bank.

Yep, that's science for ya'. Majority rules! Tyranny of the majority.

Democracy, even in science, is the rule of fools by fools!

The conspiracy of ignorance masquerades as common sense.

The Swiss-based Worldwide Fund for Nature said it was worried by the ``apparent politicization'' of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.

And they are just getting worried now?

My guess is that politicization per se is not what worries them -- it's the "wrong" kind of politicization they don't like.

Haha! This is the beginning of the end of the global warming myth.
