By way of introduction, just in case you missed it, there are at least two new kids on the new, improved, ever-growing UNEP (United Nations Environment Program) block (or maze to be more precise), The first (which I wrote about here) is called “United Nations Environment Assembly of the United Nations Environment Programme” or UNEA,…
As readers of this blog are probably aware, I do not have much respect or admiration for the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) and its ever-growing maze of offspring – which includes the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) which feeds its so-called “science” to Christiana <tinkerbell> Figueres’ current bailiwick, the “send us your billions…
This may seem like a back to the future moment, or simply a replay of last year’s performances from the movers and shakers at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – who all seem to be blissfully unaware that a year after voting began the people of the world continue to place “climate change” at the bottom of the priority heap.
Writing in Spiked, the U.K.’s Ben Pile has an excellent essay on the latest shoot-from-the-lip pronouncements emanating from the keyboard of the government’s “Chief Scientific Advisor”, Sir Mark Walport (and/or perhaps that of his ghost-writer!) Some excerpts from Pile’s assessment: Sir Mark Walport’s demand that climate-change sceptics ‘grow up’ only reveals his ignorance about the…

A new narrative for the IPCC in which “risk”, evidently, is the new black, while “climate change” finds a place in the “big picture” of Future Earth which does “research for global sustainability”.
The UNFCCC and the IPCC seem to have a mutual co-dependency arrangement. Perhaps the unscientific key messages in the chosen medium of the IPCC must be sustained at all costs in order to ensure that they remain intact in the UNFCCC’s “decisions” – or at least the illusions thereof.

[11/22/2013 03:42 PM PST: Please note updates below -hro] Readers may recall that not too long ago (well, circa Aug. 25 to be precise! … my how time flies, when the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [IPCC] is playing games), I had noted that at the Feb. 25/13 meeting of the IPCC’s Executive Committee (I…
So while the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) is busy reaching out to … wait for it … INTERPOL, the (now former) faux Nobel Laureate Michael Mann has (at least temporarily!) ditched his tree-ring circus in order to criticize the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)’s recent release of the first volume of its fifth…
