Guest Post by Bob Tisdale
Anthony Watts’s post Meh, same old ‘gloom and doom’ from the IPCC over new climate report at WattsUpWithThat prompted this one. I started to write a comment on that thread that began with, The IPCC is nothing more than a… and I went on from there, trying with some success to limit my word count. But I didn’t post it. I figured it would make for a great topic of discussion all by itself, with everyone adding their own continuation to that preface.
So to start the ball rolling, here’s what I came up with.
The IPCC is nothing more than a report-writing entity:
- that was created by politicians for use by politicians to achieve an political-agenda-driven goal
- that relies on politician-financed climate models that were designed, and continue to operate, with the single-minded intent of showing bad things will happen in the future if we continue to consume fossil fuels.
The IPCC and their reports provide no value to anyone other than the politicians who created that body.
That was a first attempt, pretty much rolled off the keyboard with a few tweaks.
So, if you would, please add your continuation of, The IPCC is nothing more than a…
And if you like, consider adding to another preface, If the politicians were truly interested in helping humanity and the planet…
I’m looking forward to reading what you have to say.

A device whereby data can be hidden from the thoughtful person, and that which cannot be hidden can be adjusted, and computer models can be presented as data of the future; consensus can be cynically claimed and presented as science and alternative interpretations regarded as at best criminal and at worst irreligious. Or should that be the other way round?
Whither logic and common sense? ‘Reverse’ climate change? Perleaze!
…clear-cut and irrefutable evidence that individual man’s need to be seen as ‘relevant’ trumps the modern world’s standards of morality and ethics. Corollary: “..the Emperor has no clothes!!”
Bob: Your ability to track down the heat, is honest and clear. I don’t think I can better your conclusions that complete the following, “The IPCC is nothing more than a…” However, let me add the following.
1) “The IPCC is nothing more than a”n avenue for politicians to use fear of CO2 (a life giving compound) to funnel money to them. Fear has always been used to drive humans towards political gain. This, IPCC agenda, is at the expense of humans’ ability to thrive.
2) “The IPCC is nothing more than a…” way to distract the world from true ecological advancement which could be attained by focusing on actual clean technologies which focus on actual pollutants. With one of the outcomes being that CO2 is now considered a pollutant by some, nothing good can come from that false outcome! The damage caused by the IPCC, vis a vis a distraction of focus on true pollution controlling techniques, is real and present. An example is how the term “clean coal” now means using coal such that it sequesters CO2 in the process of harnessing its energy. The focus should be on removing the resultant pollution, not CO2.
…scam.
A test scam. If they can float the “plausible” ‘carbon is bad for the environment’ meme for their nefarious purposes, just think of the other sadistic liberal-minded possibilities.
A political organization that must be studied in future years. Never have I thought that Lysenkoism can be brought to this level in the Western world nor have the basic scientific test of cause and effect been so distorted. They have done a brilliant job of crafting their PR.
…feelings, nothing more than feelings.
Current USA public discussion is subject to ever escalating streams of Orwellian double-speak from our so-called leaders. The spectrum runs from “Fast & Furious”, victory in Iraq, no corruption at the IRS, the non-economic recovery, success of Obamacare website, “if you like your doctor…”, “we know how to handle Ebola”, to “we’re all gonna die from climate change”.
The average citizen reacts by tuning out and losing faith in previously highly regarded institutions (Justice Dept, medical system, CDC); there appears to be no accountability or consequence for willingly and knowing lying, just like Baghdad Bob of Iraq war fame. Political evangelism replaces critical thinking.
This same dark cloud of distrust will settle on science and academia as the public realizes how fearlessly they have been lied to regarding CAGW. Not just on the bad guys – it will settle over all science and academia.
Yea, it’s important to win the CAGW argument, but victory will come at a heavy price. The world won’t wake up the next morning and return to rational thought.
The IPCC would not exist or have zero credibility if not for the likes of Betts, Schmidt, Trenberth, Stott, Dame Slymgis, Pachi and all the other hangers on from the met offices of the western government. Without taxpayer’s money being taken at every point in this stinkingingly corrupt process, both at the point of revenue and the point of energy use, none of these slimeballs would be in work.
Let’s get rid of the socialists and stop wasting public money on these shisters. Put them on the dole now or better still the street.
We needs the stocks of the medieval period to put these people in and the poor and elderly to chuck horses d’oeuvres at them.
Whatever the IPCC is, they are apparently oblivious to an important disconnect. This political report does not reconcile with the content of the science the IPCC has just reported on.
It is as if this political statement that we are now reading was written without regard to the reality.
As if?
The IPCC is nothing more than a ‘bent’ copper looking to frame CO2 for a crime it did not commit.
Compliant informants can be bought – contrary evidence can be ‘lost’, laws, both legal and scientific can be
sidestepped, witnesses can be silenced or sacked, evidence can be enhanced.
They just need to get poor innocent CO2 ‘banged-up’ , then the way is clear, the science settled – the IPCC and it’s UN masters will be in full control of all your energy supplies and will decide on your future life: or lack of it, in the proper undemocratic manner (as it’s extremely profitable)
The unelected socialist elite will then have a legal mandate to run the world in their image regardless of what you think are your sovereign rights.
Now run along..be a good citizen..pay your subsidies and they won’t take it further. They wouldn’t want anything ‘unfortunate’ to happen to you would they ? After all they are doing all this for your own good aren’t they ?
Well you KNOW they are – it’s on the BBC so it all MUST be true.
Lovely molecule ya got ‘ere. Hate to see anyfin’ ‘appen to it.
Are 95% certain it’s getting hotter , they are just not sure where .
Mercury, maybe?
The IPCC is nothing more than a corrupt bunch of undemocratically appointed bureaucrats who report to the corrupt bunch of undemocratically appointed bureaucrats at the UN..
It’s surprising how many alarmists I’ve met who don’t believe it’s a governmental body … until I remind them of the title.
If the politicians were truly interested in helping humanity and the planet…
They would totally ignore the IPCC and virtually any other environmental activist organization.
Idiotic, Pathetic, Complete, Clots?
Increasingly, Pandering, Climate, Clowns?
If the IPCC really wanted to help the planet they could start by decarbonizing themselves.
And here is an advance photo of the Paris attendees (H/T to suggestions above).

Oh man[n], you win the daily double with that photo.
The IPCC is nothing more than a reason, either #55 or #56, for discarding the U. N. into the dust bowl of history.
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Crepehangers
The IPCC is nothing more than a report-writing entity:
-That is the PR apparatus behind an attempt by a political and financial elite to take control over the global economy by means of deception and taxation.
-That is the modern day prophets(scientists) proclaiming doom unless we mortals pay offerings (carbon tax) to the priests (politicians) and the temples (banks) to please the gods (the weather). A many millenia old con-scheme.
-That is attempting a Guinnes world record in stacking coins. The goal could be to tax 1 metric tonne CO2 100$.
Just to put the ridiculous numbers in perspective I will apply school-math to the problem:
I guess 35 000 000 000 tons of co2 are emitted every year. Im not extrapolating in future africa and india here when this becomes reality make it 50Gton then. A dollar coin is 2 mm thick, 500 dollars make one meter. This is fun, just like math in school, right? We divide 35 000 000 000 by 500 and get 70 000 000 million meter, or 70 000 km. the moon is 380 000km from earth and we will thus reach the moon with our dollar stack in less than 6 years (70 000 x 5 is 350 000 etc). NASA watch out, you have competition.
(I never was very good at math in school, so so guaranties that the numbers add up correctly)
With no “Sandy” looming and elections looming, The IPCC is nothing more than a group that knows it’s time for a “report”.
The IPCC is nothing more than a mouthpiece for anti-science, anti-life, anti-poor, anti-logic murderers.
The IPCC is nothing more than a failed actor who wants to direct.
The IPCC is nothing more than a collection of equivocators who, through applications of the equivocation fallacy, imply that they are supplying policy makers with information about the outcomes of climatological events when they are supplying policy makers with no such information. If politicians were truly interested in helping humanity and the planet they would fire all of these people and indict some of them.
Well, Bob allow me to enter the definition from my climate change dictionary:
IPCC = Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change = A panel consisting of individuals with minor mental capacity and major egos instigated with the purpose of determining the cause of Climate Changing beyond that of normal ordinary seasons in order that the remainder of mankind can be found to be in dire error and guilty of partaking in a criminal involvement against nature so as to be cajoled into paying for all imaginary misdeeds done since the start of the Industrial age, the volume of payment yet to be determined beyond that of the amount remaining which may yet be extracted from the pockets of ordinary men and women by way of their governments, less of course that amount remaining in Governmental coffers after having been extracted by way of taxes, dues, fines and fees. A pseudo scientific organization on par with those who perform the art of the séance and astrology, their purpose is to stamp unbelievable rubbish with the lexicon of authority so as to become believable to the ones whose pockets are being picked in order to pay the salaries of those doing the picking and the salaries of those encouraged to develop the rubbish delivered to the panel to stamp with their authority, as well as any family, friends or acquaintances who have participated in this folly as well as any family friend or acquaintance who would have liked to have participated. At no time is any actual participation in scientific research allowed since such research would be counterproductive to the objectives desired by the panel to be achieved which is in primary the spending of copious quantities of money for the purpose of determining how it can be demonstrated that any normal and otherwise ordinary change in climate change must in fact be an undesirable consequence of some act of mankind.
