Rajendra K. Pachauri – chair of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – sounded as if he was auditioning for Saturday Night Live when he said Sunday:
“The processes in the IPCC are so robust, so inclusive, that even if an author or two has a particular bias it is completely unlikely that bias will find its way into the IPCC report,” he said.
“Every single comment that an expert reviewer provides has to be answered either by acceptance of the comment, or if it is not accepted, the reasons have to be clearly specified. So I think it is a very transparent, a very comprehensive process which insures that even if someone wants to leave out a piece of peer reviewed literature there is virtually no possibility of that happening.”
Say what? Okay, Rajendra, it is so, if you think so, as the great Pirandello once said. Or “Right You Are, If You Think You Are,” as the play is alternatively translated. No matter that we know that the original climate data has all been deep-sixed. Keep thinking what you’re thinking. Or saying what you’re saying. Or something.
Actually, I’m beginning to have some sympathy for these UN scientists, creepy as they may be. They are certainly having the rug pulled out from them at the worst possible moment. Now anything could happen. Little did poor Rajendra know that his quote would end up on the top of Drudge and make him look, without parody or comment, like a self-serving bureaucratic hustler. At least that’s not as bad as the UN’s previous scandal – Oil-for-Food Programme – when several indictments were forthcoming.
Here’s a thought. From now on, when there’s something to research of true scientific importance, let’s keep it as far away from the UN as possible. We might also want to put all findings on the Internet, so the real United Nations of Human Beings can evaluate them. Oh, I forgot. Pachauri tells us their process was “very transparent.” Note the “very” – the true sign of a liar. When something is transparent, it doesn’t need qualification. It is – or it isn’t.
For more, go here.
He’s right, if one or two authors had a bias, there would have been no problem, so long as everybody else involved was honest.
In a room full of liars, truth is a bias.
You got all the way to “very transparent”? I’m still trying to sort out “completely unlikely.”
I like how they keep hanging on the “peer reviewed” meme when the emails show a clear effort to prevent non-conforming papers from being accepted for peer review. And, of course, if your papers aren’t accepted for publication, you can’t be an expert so your comments are rejected out of hand.
How I read it: “The processes in the IPCC are so robust, so awesome, that even if an author or all authors has/have a particular bias it is completely unlikely that we will not make the IPCC report,” he said.
“Every single comment that an expert reviewer provides has to be answered either by a high five, or if it is not accepted, the reasons have to be clearly covered up. So I think it is a very transparent, a very massively random process which insures that even if someone wants to leave out a piece of peer reviewed literature there is virtually no possibility of us not changing the definition of peer reviewed in that case.”
LOL Southpark has more creditability than those clowns.. ManBearPig..
Ok all the working data has been dumped.. They cant recreate their findings so they are moot.. Their robust quest to bribe the 3rd world and sell their communist snake oil is well documented.. Climate Change…not so much to not at all..
The scepticism that I advocate amounts only to this: (1) that when the experts are agreed, the opposite opinion cannot be held to be certain; (2) that when they are not agreed, no opinion can be regarded as certain by a non-expert; and (3) that when they all hold that no sufficient grounds for a positive opinion exist, the ordinary man would do well to suspend his judgment.

Roger – You’re last link seems to be going to a blank page on PJM.
They’re dancing as fast as they can!
If this all weren’t so infuriating/disgusting/wicked it would be high comedy.
The people who have been trying to guilt-trip us for living and breathing, still have no guilt for lying in order to convince us of our guilt.
Pfft!
Pachauri (who is not a scientist) is in full denial spin cycle- one of the things the CRU emails confirmed beyond any dout is how the Warm-monger cabal highjacked the IPCC process (not that it put up much of a fight).
Pacauri’s (and Gores) Nobel is now worth precisely as much as Rigoberta Menchú’s: zilch.
From now on, when there’s something to research of true scientific importance, let’s keep it as far away from the UN as possible.
Let’s keep everything as far away from the UN as possible–especially funding.
Come on, Roger, can’t you have a little sympathy for the poor guy. After all, what man made just got un-made. And he’s already got his first-class ticket to Copenhagen.
Pachauri suggested that restaurants should stop serving ice-water along with monitoring electric usage in hotel rooms, etc. Of course, us peasants should stop flying. What do these creatures snort to get to that fantasy world? The desperation is showing and it’s fascinating to watch what idiotic statement will spew forth next.
On a weekend talk show a climate “expert” when asked about fraud and deception flagged it off.
His mantra was (1.)do you want to live in a warm world (2.) based on what we know?
answers
(1.) “no I want to live on a ice planet” (big dream of mine):)
(2.) Based on what you know you know nothing!Duh… at least the local weatherman can ‘almost’ get today’s weather right.
I can not founder why they think for one minute that they have any cred left and why does the media keep giving them airtime.
Except in Canada where the main street media still have not mention the Climatgate issue. LOL…

Has anyone heard the rumor that Pachauri is actually Bagdad Bob with a beard? Hmmm
if one or two authors had a bias
Of course, as Wegman’s analysis already showed, it is the same small group of climatologists who cite each other’s work and now we know attempt to influence the pee review process. So yes, statements are accompanied by comments of the coterie. Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch.
How about a new rule: when a group of scientists who receive tax payer money demand that the industrialized world fork over trillions more tax dollars, then we all get to see the raw data. Other wise, up yours Mr. Mann.
JohnD;
Yes, one of my favourite quotes, a constant touchstone. It so often happens that the one or few outlier experts prove all the others wrong.
This sci-scandal, though, is mostly part a political-economic putsch of the planet. Science has been prostituted for the cause.
“The proce$$e$ in the IPCC are $o robu$t, $o inclu$ive, that even if an author or two ha$ a particular bia$ it i$ completely unlikely that bia$ will find it$ way into the IPCC report,” he said.
Does anyone else find it fascinating that these guys ridicule Religious belief because of lack of scientific evidence and yet their own political DOGMA will not allow them to see the fraud that has occurred. Anything to get there way and if I heard Mr. Gibbs correctly the administration does not intend to use any current evidence in making his decision. So who is simple now?
But it looks like these “science abuse” discoveries will have no impact on the inexorable march toward a massive climate bureaucracy. California has proceeded with a plan that would be stupid even if the data were not corrupt and the models were accurate. Obama heads to Copenhagen with not a whisper of doubt about climate change dogma. And the UN positions itself to do even more harm to a fragile 3rd world. I am reminded of the Otter’s words in the film Animal House:
“ We gotta take these bastards. Now we could do it with conventional weapons but that could take years and cost millions of lives. No, I think we have to go all out. I think that this situation absolutely requires a really futile and stupid gesture be done on somebody’s part.”
Is there a strong counter movement out there that has a chance to put the brakes on this insanity or is making a scene at their victory parade the best we can hope for ?
I imagine there will be an inordinate amount of drinking and nervous eating at Copenhagen by attendees. They are all like passengers on the Titanic, dressed up for that one final bash before their ship sinks. Unfortunately, there are never enough life boats to save everyone, so the poor slobs with the cheap seats will be allowed to drown…
I just hope demonstrators will realize it is not worth risking their lives for these goons. The amount of police force planned to protect them is as usual insane—I imagine there will be sound cannons and all the trappings of high powered war machinery because the elite are so terrified of the voices of dissent. Leave them to their charades–I imagine there will be quite a bit of bloodletting going on amongst themselves…It will be very interesting psychologically to see them spin themselves into a frenzy–and I will not be surprised to see a few “suicides” —-car accidents and heart attacks as internal chaos erupts.
I have been a climate skeptic for a long time because I am a farmer and see much evidence of cooling on a local and global level.
I also recently flew over Greenland and wish most believers in the idiocy of global warming actually had some inkling of what hundreds of thousands of square miles of ice up to three kilometers thick actually looks like in real time—-flying over it for hours…. Even during the last warming periods, these enormous ice fields remained..
It is extremely enjoyable to see this circus unfold, although I feel quite sorry for the dedicated scientists and world’s less fortunate who have already been severely impacted by the climate nonsense gang & their blood sucking cohorts….
You can do something. You can contact your senators, representatives and the White house and let them know global warming is a hoax and you have no intent of letting them conduct themselves as if it is business as usual. And write to your local papers and talk to your neighbors. Most people are just really dumb about all things science and have swallowed the news stories out of conditioning not to question authority.
Start asking questions! Just say no! And stop using fluoride!!
“Actually, I’m beginning to have some sympathy for these UN scientists, creepy as they may be. They are certainly having the rug pulled out from them at the worst possible moment. ”
The poor dears. Their play for transnational power and unthinkably vast amounts of American cash are being thwarted by a little truth. These people are cockroaches, scattering when the light turns on. They are scavengers and bottom feeders, deceivers and scoundrels. The best of them are dimwitted, keep-your-head-down bureaucrats, credulous followers of group think. The worst are deliberate deceivers of the lowest sort. The thievery they will perpetrate on the world will make Bernie Madoff look like Albert Schweitzer.
Far from feeling the slightest bit sorry for these vermin, I am thoroughly enjoying watching them scatter, shimmy and spin. Watching their slow, but certain fall, despite their scrambling and dissembling, and their inevitable twisting in the wind, will be exquisite pleasure.
Convictions are greater enemies of the truth than are lies.
If they can hide,lie, alter data/facts about our climate then what have they done here =
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research
The mind boogles
Thank God for people like Mr Simon and telling the TRUTH . i HOPE HE’S GETTING ALL THE MESSAGES FROM ACROSS THE COUNTRY
