re: #507 Walter L. Newton

And am I one of those “some people?” I have never tried to smear the entire work of the IPCC, I have linked to and pointed out material that questions the way some of these scientist have accomplished their work.

Kevin Trenberth was one of those scientist at the core of the “exaggerated CRU “scandal” and he himself has now come out and VERIFIED what many have been saying, including myself.

“A lot of stuff in there was just not very good,” said Kevin Trenberth, head of climate analysis at the National Center for Atmospheric Research and a lead author of the first report. “A chronic problem is that on the whole area of impacts, getting into the realm of social science, it is a softer science. The facts are not as good.”

I’m wondering how many times you think you need to post that link?

Yes, Trenberth says the IPCC needs to improve their work on social impacts of climate change. So what? This is obviously true, and no one has ever denied that. I don’t know why you’re trumpeting this minor news as if it was some giant revelation.

The point I’m going to continue to make is that NONE of the so-called “scandals” — which, by the way, are being trumped up by people with denialist agendas — even come close to refuting or disproving the vast amount of evidence that is not in question.
