Yesterday I did something that I never expected to get any results on. My lucky number 1029 paid off.
I’ve been appointed as an expert reviewer for the IPCC AR5. I’ve viewed the invitation letter and it’s the real deal.

Anyone else get accepted?
Congratulations, Mr Watts. You’re an excellent scientist and a marvelllous person.
However, IMO this “invitation” could be an attempt to Shut You Up by Devious Means.
If it were me I’ld be thinking, they played on my manifest decency over BEST and now they’re trying the same trick again. And I’m only paranoid if they AREN’T out to get me.
So PLEASE be sure that your abilities to communicate and discuss aren’t going to be circumscribed if you accept!
congrats anthony. interesting times.

Re: your mention of me at December 16, 2011 at 10:15 am.
Yes, and it is important to niote that all my similar review comments were rejected withiout justification.
I reviewed the AR4 at the invitation of NOAA. Subsequently the IPCC Chair, Rajendra Pachauri, invited me to review the Synthesis Report but I did not accept that invitation because my experience with the AR4 review induced me tio think there was no point in my doing it.

’tis my hobby and pass-time to torment warmists in the comments sections of UK newspapers.
Every now and then I have referred to WUWT for some specific piece of data or information…and I inevitably get an instantaneous howl round from a small number of activists who condemn Anthony as…’a tv weather man’, ‘in the pay of big oil’, ‘peddlar of disinformation etc etc.”
These rods that are being given me to beat the scouldrels with are just perfect…it IS Christmas after all!
Anthony,
I couldn’t find your name among the list (updated as of December 12) of Authors and Review Editors. We may have to wait for the next update.

I was wondering how much longer it would take until Big Oil finally bought their way into the IPCC… 😛
whoot! Anthony, given your vast expertise, just what area(s) will you be expecting to review and contribute to?
Anthony,
Are you personally identified as the reviewer or is your company the reviewing entity?

Congrats! Congrats any way and hope you end the corruption in the IPCC.
Congratulations Anthony. Long way from the ‘bloggers do not matter’ meme.
I’m confident that your review will be most insightful. But, based on their track record, I am less confident that they will actually fully consider it or incorporate it in their updated manifesto.
“Thank you very much for your input on this Mr. Watts but the font you used in your written submission does not meet our criteria.” Or something like that.
They will ignore everything you write but will add your name to everything they publish.
How does it feel to be the token sceptic ?
Now the IPCC can claim a “balanced viewpoint” from both sides.
Given the publicity that our host’s application received, there’s no way on this Earth, that they’d refuse his application.
As to whether they take any notice of his (& other “Denialists”) input, is a completely different matter.
Congratulations Anthony, make the most of this opportunity to right the wrongs.
Congratulations Anthony.
Now the least you can do is to invite guest articles from Michael Mann and have him as a moderator at WUWT!
Given the above, I applied for a Review Editor position citing no specific climate expertise. I only mentioned a university course in modelling (biomedical class). If I get a positive response, something is amiss …
This reminds me of Groucho Marx who once said : “I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member”.
I’d love to be sincerely congratulatory about this, but quite honestly Mike M says it for me above – ‘Don’t forget Confucius – “Sleep with dogs – wake up with fleas.”. Worse, these dogs are known to be rabid. Keep notes, be very careful, and beware another BEST style rewrite. Good luck!

Don’t think you should’ve let the cat out of the bag until the clearance date!
Those in the TEAM will get to know of this and get your details etc and any review you do could/will be dismissed by the TEAM members/cohortes…..though the data will come in handy
just make sure you’re seeing the “real deal” stuff and not fed some B.S to make a fool out of you
all the best
No $&@ur momisugly$)@ur momisugly&ing way?!?!?!

I smell a rat.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I do too. Think BEST!
No matter what Anthony says or does the New York Times and the Huff and Puff and every other pupet media outlet will broadcast to the skies that the SKEPTICS lead by Anthony Watts himself ACCEPT the IPCC and its conclusions on the next report.
their I gottcha is:
“‘Expert Reviewers are kindly reminded that all materials provided from
this website are available for the sole purpose of the Expert Review
and may not be cited, quoted, or distributed.”
Hi Anthony,
My guess is that if you were to accept this job, you would never again be allowed to comment on the IPCC global warming scam, except of course, to the 4 walls of a prison cell. There’s not much of a carbon foot-print in gaol – you would be practising what they preach !
Over-dramatic ?
Mr Watts. I believe you have a saying in America abourt certain persons being invited into tents rather than being left outside!
WoWzEr…Holy under cover, Batman. all I ask is you be impartial, honest, and above board.
or in the imortal words of the “Hanging Judge” give ’em a fair trial then hang “em from the nearest tree!!!
Congratulations Anthony – It’s about d##m time!
The IPCC gives me a shock
First it’s a shock, then comes the Lobotomy. But finally lucky you ends up just like Roh234! In other words, either at the OWS’s radical! learning camps for the severely speech challenged or perhaps in an equally “progressive” Chico, California, by that time also in complete protective medical isolation from the rest of Roh’s non-Californian “eleven fingered teabagger” nation. Or perhaps valiantly trying to reproduce more of Roh’s truly salvational Virginia “liberals” as below, no doubt all the prototypical byproducts of Roh’s own beloved and transformational! Obamacare!
