Tony Thomas has just drawn our attention to his review in Quadrant on-Line of Donna Laframboise's scathing expose of the IPCC to which there is a link below. Having read Tony's reviiew, it galvanised me immediately to order a Kindle for iPad version from the wondrously simple and immediate service offered by Amazon:
The Delinquent Teenager Who Was Mistaken for the World's Top Climate Expert [Kindle Edition] - only $US4.99, and within 10 minutes I was reading it!  It is certainly a must-read for anyone interested in the topic; and an absolute essential for government policymakers everywhere.  - Terry Dunleavy, webmaster NZCSC

A trawl of the internet has just uncovered this revelation  by a US blogger, "The Washington Pest " of how the IPCC used what he terms 'artful bias' to present a one-sided view of the case for unnatural global warming.

"The reality is a long way from the way that the IPCC describes itself. The IPCC claims that it employs the top scientists in the field; it uses only peer-reviewed material; its staff are independent and impartial; its operations are transparent; its procedures for review are rigorous and free of conflicts of interest; and its role is to present objective scientific advice to policymakers, not to advocate policy responses. None of these claims is true."  Lord Turnbull, former top civil service mandarin in UK, criticising the IPCC in Britain's House of Lords.

"IPCC models also fail to incorporate climate modulating effects of solar changes such as cloud-forming influences of cosmic rays throughout periods of reduced sunspot activity. More clouds tend to make conditions cooler, while fewer often cause warming. At least 50-70% of observed 20th century warming might be associated with increased solar activity witnessed since the “Maunder Minimum” of the last 17th century." - Larry Bell reports in Forbes on scientific study by Dr Nicola Scafetta, of Duke University.

There has been strong public interest in the December 15, 2011 climate science and economics hearing before the Canadian Senate Standing Committee on Energy, the Environment and Natural Resources. The complete hearing may be viewed on-line here (2 hours). The English language official transcript of the hearing is available here.  ICSC has now assembled a Webpage that includes:

• interesting parts of the hearing as separate, short video excerpts. This includes the four prepared statements by the scientist witnesses (with all the slides shown inserted) plus all 12 Q&As with the Senators.
• the written prepared testimony of each of the scientist witnesses.
• all supplementary material submitted to the committee by the scientist witnesses.

If 'sovereign debt' is now acceptable as economic jargon popularised by the global financial meltdown, let me have a crack at inventing a new term, 'sovereign eco-cide" as descriptive of how nations can inflict on themselves economic suicide by means of carbon taxes, emissions trading schemes, cap-and-trade madness , etc, caused by the myth that human and animal emissions of  carbon dioxide can cause 'dangerous global warming'. For what led to this invention, see three links below - Terry Dunleavy, New Zealand Climate Science Coalition.
