the IPCC in its "Appendix A to the Principles Governing IPCC Work," .... states:

Policymakers or the Overview Chapter."

It seems they don't like the idea of any change that might contradict their > predetermined
summary.

The IPCC's job is to put together a review. Once they've worked out
the broad outline of what they want to say - "Summary for
Policymakers" and "Overview Chapter" - it makes sense to clean out
apparent inconsistencies in the supporting documents.

You mean that 'supporting the IPCC case' is more important than telling the truth and you think
that's acceptable ?

That's exactly what the AGWists accuse the likes of Exxon and Mobil of. There's a difference, the
IPCC is publicly funded and is mean to be 'politically' neutral. Any such neutrality has clearly
been long abandoned and AGW is now totally a political or quasi-religious issue and very little
indeed to do with science.


Anybody who
wants to change policy after the broad outline has been agreed has to
wait until the next review. You've got to be pretty fond of conspiracy
theories to find anything suspect in this.

I call it perverse. And I'm being kind.
