Ouch and double ouch
Family First Senator Steve Fielding and Lord Monckton demand answers from Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change - and not just over his use of dodgy data:
"...We should be grateful for your response within 48 hours, failing which we shall be entitled to presume that you, the IPCC and the EPA – to whose administrator we are copying this letter – intend to conspire, and are conspiring, to obtain a pecuniary advantage by deceiving the public as to the nature, degree, and significance of the global surface temperature trend. In that event, conspiracy to defraud taxpayers would be evident, and we should be compelled to place this letter in the hands of the relevant investigating and prosecuting authorities.
In any event, errors and exaggerations such as that which is evidenced in the IPCC’s defective graph do not inspire confidence in the reliability of the IPCC’s scientific case. Given this and other mistakes that an international body of this nature ought not to have made, and given your numerous and direct conflicts of interest that have, in our opinion, been insufficiently disclosed, we are also copying this letter to the delegations of the states parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change with a request that you be stripped of office forthwith..."

Ouch.
Thanks for the relentless coverage you provide. I have reblogged this.
ReplyDeleteBut, jeebus, this is incendiary. I am sooo looking forward to Roger Harrabin's coverage of it on the news tonight.
The annoying thing is having to have people like Sen Steve Fielding on your side. Family First aren't officially religious and are at least less overt than some of the clowns currently ruining the country (or previously for that matter), but the bottom line is that his seeing sense on warble gloaming doesn't make me much of a fan while he and his party are equally annoying and anti freedom on other issues. Still, my enemy's enemy is my ally and all that.
