The Christian Science Monitor asks the question.
Boulderites are probably asking “Why?” and a researcher from East Anglia University responds…
Over the course of its 22-year history, the IPCC has become “too cumbersome, too bureaucratic, too big, too slow, and too much aligned with government interests and not the people’s interests,” writes climate scientist Michael Hulme in an e-mail.
Dr. Hulme, a researcher at the University of East Anglia in England, is one of the scientists contributing to the recommendations. He also has served as a lead author and a contributing author to IPCC reports.
One result, he says, is a group that has gained too much authority, lending its pronouncements a scientifically and politically unhealthy air of infallibility.
(emphasis added – ed)
That’s the same unhealthy air of infallibility that was in Clay Evan’s climate change editorial last November. I’m not expecting Clay to resign from the Church of Global Warming anytime soon.
