Corruption of Bribery

                                      Chapter 6 : Corruption in the “Carbon World”


                     WGI assesses the physical scientific aspects of the climate system and climate change
                     WGII assesses the vulnerability of socio‐economic and natural systems to climate change,
                       the negative and positive consequences of climate change, and the options for adapting
                       to it
                     WGIII assesses the options on mitigating climate change through limiting or preventing
                       greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing activities that remove them from the
                       atmosphere

               Each report is prepared by panels of authors, lead authors and contributors who draft Chapters
               normally consisting of two sections.  The first is called a Summary for Policymakers and is
               supposedly a synopsis of the supporting section containing detailed scientific material based
               entirely on published and peer group reviewed material.

               The bias of each of the four IPCC assessments has been repeatedly pointed out by scientists‐notably the rewriting
               of key passages in its 1995 “Summary for Policymakers” after the contributing scientists had approved the final
                   52
               text .
                                                                      53
               The unauthorised changes made to the summary by Benjamin Santer  of the Lawrence Livermore National
               Laboratory included deletion of all of the expert reservations in the drafts and “single‐handedly reversed the
               “climate science” of the whole IPCC report” Where the scientists said that there was no discernible human
               influence on climate, the summary was written to say that there was. This was done without reference back to
               the scientists concerned, but the summary was approved‐ line by line and word by word – by the IPCC’s
               government representatives.

               The alterations provoked a “magisterial blast” from Professor  Frederick Seitz, a former President of the US
               National Academy of Sciences, who wrote that in all his 60 years as a scientist he had never seen "a more
               disturbing corruption" of the scientific process” and that if the IPCC was "incapable of following the  most basic
               procedures, it was best that it should be abandoned”.

               A Canadian analyst identified more than 20 important passages in the IPCC's report which were not from peer
               reviewed and published papers but were rather WWF or Greenpeace lobbying cameos. Other researchers have
               uncovered a host of similarly dubious claims and attribution throughout the report.

               8.2.2.3   Selection of Authors

               Authors, contributors, reviewers and other experts are selected by a bureau of the IPCC from a
               list of nominations received from governments and participating organisations.  They can also be
               identified directly by the IPCC because of their special expertise demonstrated by their academic
               and peer‐reviewed publications.
