Greenpeace-gate?

After Climategate, Glaciergate, Amazongate, Pauchaurigate now comes Greenpeacegate. The Global Warming movement is unraveling faster than the North Pole is supposed to be melting. As Donna Laframboise, the creator of NOconsensus.org writes, it is hard to find out where greenpeace ends and the IPCC starts:the IPCC reports has a large number of “peer reviewed” references to  that seem to come from Greenpeace flyers and other un-reviewed Greenpeace literature.

Donna writes:

When discussing solar energy elsewhere, the report references two Greenpeace documents in one sentence. Here it uses a Greenpeace paper as its sole means of documenting where the “main wind-energy investments” are located globally (Wind).

She continues:

The expert reviewers who had input into just one portion (Working Group III) of the IPCC report are listed in this 8-page PDF. They include three Greenpeace employees, two Friends of the Earth representatives, two Climate Action Network reps, and a person each from activist organizations WWF International, Environmental Defense, and the David Suzuki Foundation.

And:

In short, Sawyer’s [seasoned campaigner on board Greenpeace boats and a tireless lobbyist] career has focused on political activism and environmental lobbying. How does that qualify him to be an IPCC “scientific expert reviewer”?

The IPCC Fourth Assessment Report has been proven to be the greatest work of fiction since the french included vows of fidelity in their marriage service [quote: Edmund Blackadder].

I knew AGW was phony 9 or so years ago based onl the way these pro-AGW scientists treated any criticism. Honest scientists don’t respond to criticism with out of hand dismissals and ad nominum attacks. One of the biggest giveaways was their calling the AGW critics “skeptics”. A term designed to smear critics as if they were denying the truth of their eyes which of course, was not true. A skeptic is one who believes there are no truths. It dates back to the skeptics of ancient Greece. But the critics had lots of evidence which was drowned out by a feckless press. Now proof of their dishonesty is pouring out thanks to efforts like yours. Keep up the good work.
