With Rajenda K. Pachauri now “toast“, and an AR6 in the works, this is this most logical choice forward.
Guest essay by Tom Fuller
WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Nominate Judith Curry as the next Chair of the Intergovernmental Panel On Climate Change.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, an organization created by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environmental Programme, will elect a new chair this year. The post is currently being filled by an interim chair following the resignation of Rajendra Pachauri.
The United States has currently nominated Dr. Chris Field. We petition the current administration to withdraw his nomination and instead nominate Judith Curry.
Judith A. Curry is an American climatologist and former chair of the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Her integrity, understanding of the science and related policy issues make her a better choice, for the IPCC and American interests as well.
SIGNATURES NEEDED BY APRIL 03, 2015 TO REACH GOAL OF 100,000

Someone above suggested Anthony Watts for IPCC president. Less likely to succeed than Judith but if you really want to be controversial, suggest Willie Soon as IPCC president.
A first rate candidate for IPCC president would the GWPF director Dr Benny Peiser – see his testimony at the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works. Video available on GWPF website.
hmmm found this not sure how reliable it is but these have been suggested

Frontrunners to succeed Pachauri
Jean-Pascal van Ypersele, a Belgian physicist who is one of three vice-chairs of the IPCC and a specialist in climate change modelling and the study of the impact of human activities on the climate.
Hoesung Lee, another IPCC vice-chair, is a South Korean academic whose research centres on the economics of climate change, energy and sustainable development.
Thomas Stocker, a Swiss climate scientist, is professor of climate and environmental physics at the University of Bern and has been a senior author of several IPCC assessments, including the most recent one finalised last year.
Chris Field, another senior IPCC author, an American who is professor of environmental studies at Stanford University and founding director of the Carnegie Institution’s department of global ecology.

all seems rather incestuous
oops have i breeched copyright.. sorrreeeeee
Not to mention that Chris Field was one of ten recipients of the 15th Annual Heinz Award with special focus on the environment in 2009. He received $100,000.
The Heinz Award is the same Heinz that is married to John Kerry.
Something smells rotten.
This might be as dangerous for her as if Ron Paul had been elected prez and attempted to dismantle the federal reserve.
I would vote for her if I could.
The big question …. would she allow Christopher Monckton to speak at IPCC conferences?
I know nothing about Chris Field, but the IPCC will not be improved with an academic of environmental studies as its chair–too light weight. And Obama’s nominations for any position are all suspect. After enough Trojan Horses even the Trojans catch on.
better the economist – I mean, let’s just cut to the chase here
or they could have a run-off: the shaken carbonated beverage melee at 5 paces in a threesome until the fatal capacity of CO2 is clearly demonstrated, not modeled . . . thinking YouTube here, or ESPN
Only if she does something about her hair.
But then Patchy has set the tonsorial bar low.
Would have to be vetted by the true head of the UN first, Strong.
I can not bring myself to assign such a burden to Judith Curry, without her prior assent to such martyrdom. I do not think any person could significantly shift the UN IPCC focus from their entrenched confirmation bias to honest debate and high integrity science, without being given near dictatorial control of the entire operation.
And that will not be allowed to happen!
As a duplicitous and thoroughly discredited entity, this is the right time to disband an organisation based on a fabricated premise.
AGW is a lie, why compound it? It seems posters hear are in love with the the idea of spending taxpayers time and money, as long as it suits their agenda.
To me it dosn,t matter who is sitting in the chair they will still have to face a cooling world and keep the fraud going
I think Judith would make a good choice. FWIW we’ll end up with a much more balanced report. She’s big on uncertainty and there’s a lot of that in climate science…
Not that I don’t think she wouldn’t do a thousand times better at the job than Pachouri, and give a disreputable organization some instant scientific credibility, but why would she want the job of wrangling a bunch of activists who despise her and would try to undercut and torpedo her at every turn?
I think she went on record a year or so ago saying it’s time for the IPCC to shut its doors. I agree with that. No new boss. No AR6. No more IPCC. And if the IPCC does go on, the U.S. government should withdraw, and not pay for any of it’s operations, nor for membership, travel or expenses for any of scientists now on the payroll, nor to allow them to attend except on their own free time at their own expense. And it should withhold and reduce all such funding from research grants from the NAS, NIH, NOAA, NASA, DOE, EPA and every other Federal Department or Agency. No more DOE “good idea” payouts, either. What a bunch of corrupt thievery those have invited.
It’s time to end the funding of the slop trough.
Opinion: The IPCC and Obama are not interested in a reasonable and scientific finding regarding climate science. It gives them no mandate to expand power and control. A climate centerist like Dr. Curry would not be considered for a leadership role, nor would Dr. Curry ever be made welcome as the head in the organization as it exists today. And if the organization doesn’t continue as it does it will quickly be defunded and replaced with a proper climate hysteria organization that will deliver what is expected.
If the Obama administration nominated Curry one thing would be certain… global warming would stop dead in its tracks as Hell froze over.
Obama is more likely to nominate her inquisitor Raul Grijalva.
I signed. Anything to tweak the noses of the climate apparatchiks.
Who else would work as hard to terminate the whole farce?
how about nominating James Delingpole to run, I mean dismantle, the IPCC
How about Steve Mosher, just to exasperate them.
There are only 391 votes for Judith at present, not sure if that represents the number of people that would condemn her to a living hell, or the 97% that wouldn’t.
Over 99.600 when I added my vote just minutes ago. Go Judith.
thats how many votes to go…. hehehehehe 100,000 – 99600 = 400 so far
I think this is going to backfire when it turns out to get less than 1000 signatures. The opposition will use that as further “evidence” of “overwhelming support” for their position. And the signatures from outside the US are going to generate additional scorn.
I live in the USA and signed it, but it’s like spitting in the ocean of propaganda that the mass media keep pouring out.
I’ve signed up.
Thanks, that answers one of the questions I asked earlier. I will now sign!
Reblogged this on Sierra Foothill Commentary and commented:
Judith Curry would make a fine scientific leader for an organization that has been more political than scientific. Maybe we can change the politics. Please add your signature.
May i say “maybe we can eliminate the politics”?
I believe that James Taylor – the crooner of “”You’ve Got A Friend” fame – and best buddy of our esteemed Secretary of State, John Kerry, should be the next Chair of this reputable organization.
He would be most effective in suggesting that those evil climate deniers be given good jobs, good education and other opportunities usually afforded to white males, to convince that that in the 2 billion year life of planet earth, the ONLY thing that causes climate to change – you know, ice ages and the like – is the activity of humans.
That’s my vote !!!
Who will second the motion ??
Hear hear !!!
Judith Curry doesn’t seem very interested in the job:
IPCC in transition

Perhaps she can be persuaded to pursue the opportunity to serve …
My impression is that the next Chair of the IPCC will be quietly negotiated by the leaders of a handful of ‘strategic’ countries based solely on the home country of the candidate rather than any worthy qualifications.
I think it is likely that the next chairman of the IPCC will be Chinese because it would be the politically nuanced move to attempt to have the Chinese omebe more inclusive in the belief system.
NOTE: That said, I would support Curry if she were to actively seek the appointment to Chair of the IPCC.
