re: #8 badger1

No doubt it seems like a good idea to attack the people rather than address the argument…I don’t think so.

I don’t believe that university and government climate scientists are producing their research because of their financial interest in research grants, and the same principle applies to the private sector.

IOP made serious points that should be addressed seriously.

Maybe you should actually read the article before trying to make excuses.

The IOP has already walked back the accusations made by Peter Gill: Institute of Physics forced to clarify submission to climate emails inquiry:

In a statement issued today the institute said its written submission to the committee “has been interpreted by some individuals to imply that it does not support the scientific evidence that the rising concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is contributing to global warming.”

It says: “That is not the case. The institute’s position on climate change is clear: the basic science is well enough understood to be sure that our climate is changing, and that we need to take action now to mitigate that change.”

The institute said its critical comments were focused on the scientific process, and “should not be interpreted to mean that the institute believes that the science itself is flawed.”
