New Book About the IPCC

The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has never been the collection of experts that Al Gore and others have made it out to be.

There is a new book out that promotes itself as an expose of the IPCC. It is titled, The Delinquent Teenager Who Was Mistaken for the World's Top Climate ExpertI have not read it and cannot recommend it one way or another. However, the following brief excerpt is right on the money.

It is in this virtual world where it is new discovery that the sun affects the climate.

This quote is so right on the money that I will read it and will report back after I have done so.

  1. I'm about 1/4 of the way in -- good so far. It's only $5 on the Kindle.

    Donna also quotes Freeman Dyson, in my view our most preeminent living physicist.

    "...But I have studied the climate models and I know what they can do. The models solve the equations of fluid dynamics, and they do a very good job of describing the fluid motions of the atmosphere and the oceans. They do a very poor job of describing the clouds, the dust, the chemistry and the biology of fields and farms and forests. They do not begin to describe the real world that we live in. The real world is muddy and messy and full of things that we do not yet understand. It is much easier for a scientist to sit in an air-conditioned building and run computer models, than to put on winter clothes and measure what is really happening outside in the swamps and the clouds. That is why the climate model experts end up believing their own models."
