Why support positions you know have no merit? Why continue to embarrass yourselves for the sake of the idiots in the Republican party?

These are rhetorical questions.
Better make that 96.5% instead of 97%. He was one of them they counted.

The subject here seems to be conflict of interest, not so much the climate debate. Not saying one isn't connected to the other issue, but conflict of interest is the focus here.

Top climate expert's sensational claim of government meddling in crucial UN report

  • Officials from all main countries 'insisted on changes in late-night meeting'
  • Intervention amounts to 'serious conflict of interest', claims Harvard prof
  • IPCC reports are supposed to be independent as they help shape policy
A top US academic has dramatically revealed how government officials forced him to change a hugely influential scientific report on climate change to suit their own interests.
....
He said the officials, representing ‘all the main countries and regions of the world’ insisted on the changes in a late-night meeting at a Berlin conference centre two weeks ago.
Three quarters of the original version of the document ended up being deleted.
....
Prof Stavins claimed the intervention amounted to a serious ‘conflict of interest’ between scientists and governments. His revelation is significant because it is rare for climate change experts to publicly question the process behind the compilation of reports on the subject.
Prof Stavins, Harvard’s Professor of Business and Government, was one of two ‘co-ordinating lead authors’ of a key report published by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) earlier this month.

talk about intellectual dishonesty, you are doing that in spades my friend. you keep making claims that the right doesnt go through "peer review", but when papers are submitted that dont bow to what the leftists want, they dont get peer reviewed. stop with the dishonesty on your side.

The earth heats and cools periodically.

The UN wants to be the worlds government and wants to levy taxes.

The UN has gone beyond their original charter and needs to be drastically scaled back or defunded and thrown out of the US.

Even if true, and I have no reason to think that's the case, it still wouldn't magically turn your blogs into scientific resources. All of your arguments would be just as worthless as they are now and you'd still be a denialist who would rather whine and cry about me than try to show his claims have merit. Instead of providing facts to support the claims you make, you whine about leftists.
