Experts to Prepare Global Warming Report

Nov 09, 2007 By ARTHUR MAX, Associated Press Writer

(AP) -- If there's one document on global warming policymakers might put in their briefcase, this would be it. On Monday, scientists and government officials gather in Valencia, Spain to put together the fourth and last U.N. report on the state of global warming and what it will mean to hundreds of millions of people whose lives are being dramatically altered.

Dr Metz is a chemical engineer who has spent vitually his entire life as a public servant, he can hardly be classed as objective as he is in the pay of a government that has taken a position on the issue. I'd love to know the names and qualifications of the other scientists involved and how they have contributed to this summary. Is the summary in full accordance with the report? For example, are there comments on vector-borne diseases and if so, have these been endorsed by the recognised experts such as Professor Paul Reiter?

I hardly think that being awarded a prize by a committee of left-leaning Norwegian politicians which in the past has given the same prize to terrorists constitutes the ultimate validation. The ultimate validation would be the climate doing what the IPCC says it will. Instead we have had no global warming for 9 years and the best evidence suggests we are no warmer now than in the 1930s. In my world, political committees, wishful thinking and computer models don't trump reality.
