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.

The IPCC is nothing more than a collection of scientists convened to support the general consensus of politicians worldwide concerning climate change. Currently all funding is concentrated on proving anthropogenic influence on global warming. Should the temperature start to decrease over a period of more than one governmental cycle then all funding will be switched to anthropogenic influence on global cooling and the catastrophic consequences thereof. At no time is funding to be used for preparation for these consequences (!!)
If the politicians were truly interested in helping humanity and the planet…….they would look to improve the living conditions of the worlds poor so they may develop the luxury of caring about the future of the planet during their lifetimes, rather than surviving the next few days.
Found this on our local paper (digital edition, not actual paper, so it does not pollute /sarc) http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/world/climate+panel+says+emissions+need+drop+zero+this+century/10346708/story.html
The IPCC is a classic bureaucracy run out of control (can no one put it out of it’s misery?). Like most large and unaccountable bureaucracies, it has lost sight of its purpose, and now its prime purpose has become its own interests and the extension of its life and imperium. In addition, in this case its original purpose was fundamentally flawed, as its remit seems to have been to prove that man-made CO2 was the cause of catastrophic global warming. NB Not to enquire whether…
The GOP may take over the US Senate along with the House, we will know for sure this Tuesday and I plan to do my part.
Inhofe may take over the chair for Environment and Public Works. He along with other GOP members have questioned why US have given some much funding to the IPCC. Especially when the data does not correlate to the IPCC findings.
We have a winner.
Jack 1947 you nail it.
Bureaucracy is a cancer, unchecked (as in watched constantly and ruthlessly pruned) it soon goes out of control.
The UN bureaucracy is the worse example ever as no one oversees these fools and bandits.
The Useless Nutjobs must be disbanded and preferably banished.
The IPCC want to implement the commandments on the Georgia guidestones. First commandment, maintain the earth’s population at 500,000,000. Guess what? To all the people here who are eating up the IPCC propaganda… You don’t have a place at the table. Wise up and live.
The IPCC is nothing more than a device to take advantage of PR insights gained by the success of the Club of Rome / Limits to Growth manipulation of political classes using computer outputs as if they were written on tablets of stone from the gods. This being to further the emerging cause of ‘environmentalism’, a kind of mish-mash of smart-alec glibness about environmental policy, smug self-aggrandising portentous planet saviourism by the anointed ones, and a takeover of the fledgling, tiny field of climate science by ambitious geographers and others of modest intelligence but huge ambition. The pioneering climatologist Hubert Lamb was trampled in this rush, and the greatest living meteorological scientist, Richard Lindzen, was marginalised. The non-cooperation of the climate system to the simple-minded ‘CO2 drives all before it’ tactic has led to many contortions, spins, and sundry tricks to keep both the scientific players happy with layers of cautions and reservations, and the political players happy with soundbites that seem to cut the mustard for policy makers. The IPCC, in other words, has been a disgrace to both science and to politics. We ought to be ashamed of it.
‘And if you like, consider adding to another preface, If the politicians were truly interested in helping humanity and the planet…’
They are not.
My all-time favorite description of the UN is “an organization dedicated to taking money from the poor people in rich countries, and giving it to the rich people in poor countries.” I agree with jack1947 that the IPCC’s function, as it was first explained to me, was to generate and consolidate world-wide political support to enectmeasures to counteract the ongoing problem of man-made global warming. At the IPCC’s inception, CAGW was already a fact in thier minds.
And I don’t know this fellow I. P. Ceecee, but I believe he is in need of some serious therapy, perhaps a guillotine.
if’s appropriate 2 answer in my inborn austrian/innviertlerisch/bavarien speak –
can’t even believe that green scam gets list’ning –
‘heasd, no hö auf da plattn. Des glaubst?’
The IPCC?
The Councils of Nicaea 2.0
If the politicians were truly interested in helping humanity and the planet they would quit being politicians and dedicate themselves to personal actions that actually help someone besides themselves
The IPCC is like a Political Wing of ISIS (ISIL,IS,Arab Caliphate)
1. Recruits the feeble minded – CHECK!
2. Promotes a medieval world view – CHECK!
3. Decapitates its enemies – (symbolically) CHECK!
4. Plunders others resources to further its goals – CHECK!
5. Uses social media to effectively brain wash its recruits – CHECK!
6. Attracts comfy suburbanites from major European cities to its cause – CHECK!
7. Corrupts an existing framework to legitimize its claims – CHECK!
8. Reduces prosperity, opportunity and development – CHECK!
9. Threatens a Global governance with extreme prejudice – CHECK!
10. Thrives under strong philanthropic & corporate funding, fizzles without – CHECK!
Coming to a town near you?…..
Probably already been said, but..
The IPCC is nothing more than an answer looking for a problem.
The IPCC is nothing more than a prime example of what you get from a committee on weather.
(run by a railroad engineer.)
(with data provided by those who know how to write a grant proposal but not how to do good science)
The IPCC does nothing but talk about the weather and wants someone else to do something about it. Whether they need to or not. (or even can)
The IPCC is nothing but a threat to liberty!
They should be fought on every front.
The IPCC would never have succeeded at anything, nor would a partisan press been able to propagandize their politics, nor would the NGOs have been able to issue oracular pamphlets of doom, had not certain scientists put politics ahead of science, some actively lying in that effort, and had not the leadership of the major scientific organizations lobotomized themselves into an otherwise incomprehensible acquiescence.
The primary fault lays with the leadership of the mainline scientific institutions.
you wan’t find an appropriate interpreter; just plain talkin home.
Thx for trying + forget about. Hans
Group of people who gin their importance and power by finding climate change. The worse it is the more important and powerful they become.
The IPCC was created to deliver the problem. The solution was already available (= deindustrialisation).
As Murray Rothbard pointed out decades ago, the state (government) is a gang of thieves writ large. Rather than allow voluntary mutual cooperation among men exercising their free will, the state seeks to exercise control over you via force, fraud, and coercion. In violation of the Golden Rule (or the non-aggression principle) the state uses aggression to run your life. You are the slave of the state.
The IPCC is a creature of the various states run through the vehicle called the UN. What more does one need to know about the evil it will do?
The IPCC = GIGO (Garbage in, Garbage out)
An agency designed to produce an ‘assumptive close’ on climate natters, to enforce two broad policy guidelines
– to ensure energy is expensive and controlled by international agencies
– to ensure that the average joe gets poorer and rich oligarchs get richer.
The IPCC is nothing more than a bunch of clueless climate clowns.
IPCC an organ for powerful liars and idiots alike to speak “loudly” while robbing us all blind.
If the politicians were truly interested in helping humanity and the planet………………
they would all commit suicide. A side benefit is that their personal “carbon emissions” would be reduced to zero.
I was going to suggest that was going too far, but then I realised that as I’ve said I will stand in the UK as an independent if I can get the money … I might just have my own self interest at heart.
