Clearly, governments will have to look elsewhere than the IPCC for
sound science on climate change.

The Stephen H. Schneider Symposium, being held in late August in Boulder, Colo., will reflect

sound policies?»

For instance, Monbiot has it that «Between 2000 and 2002 [TASSC] received $ 30,000 from Exxon», and that this same organisation (The Advancement of
Sound Science Coalition) «has done more damage to the campaign to halt [
CLIMATE CHANGE] than any other body»... If donations of just $ 10,000 dollars can buy the effect Monbiot is claiming TASSC achieved with it over three years, why
on earth would anyone pay for far more expensive comment drones?
As we have documented in numerous articles
on the disinformation campaign
on this website, although responsible scientific skepticism is necessary for
science to advance, the
climate change disinformation campaign has been involved not in the pursuit of responsible scientific skepticism but in tactics that are morally reprehensible including: (a) telling lies about mainstream
climate scientific evidence or engaging in reckless disregard for the truth, (b) focusing
on unknowns about
climate science while ignoring settled
climate change science, that is cherry - picking the evidence, (c) creating front groups and Astroturf groups that hide the real parties in interest behind claims, (d) making specious claims about «good
science», (e) manufacturing
science sounding claims about
climate change by holding conferences in which claims are made and documents are released that have not been subjected to scientific peer - review, and (d) cyber bullying journalists and scientists.
So that brings me back to being a «consumer» of the case that you present — as a «bridge builder» between imperfect but
sound science on both sides of the
climate change issue.
Writing in the journal

The ABC, which regularly (or, I should say, continually) presents uncritical stories predicated
