It is. Doesn't mean they don't rely on science. Doesn't matter if anyone believes in it or not though. We've already crossed the Rubicon on doing anything to mitigate it as far as I can tell.

I dunno, but I imagine they certainly could have a suspect agenda. Can you tell me about the IPCC? (my original question)

What do you know about politicians? Do they tell the truth? Are they held accountable for their mistakes? Can they take money from you without permission? Do they spend your money wisely? Do they often resort to violence to get their way?

I don't trust random strangers on the internet to such things.

I suggest you look it up. Go to the source.

Here We Go Again: UN Climate Panel Continues Decades-Long Climate Fear Porn Tradition


Quote:
The IPCC’s latest scare tactics reflect the words of University of Southampton Professor emeritus John Brignell, as reported by Climate Depot: “The creation of the UN IPCC was a cataclysmic event in the history of science. Here was a purely political body posing as a scientific institution.”


Hoover Institution visiting fellow Bjorn Lomborg has pointed out on Twitter, “UN routinely warns us that we have just a few years left until catastrophe.” The U.N. has a sorry record of those predictions failing to materialize.


Lomborg proceeded to tweet a litany of failed climate predictions that the U.N. has attempted to scare the world with over the decades.


Lomborg wasn’t the only climate expert to excoriate the IPCC. Environmental Progress Founder and President Michael Shellenberger classified the IPCC’s stipulation that “‘[o]n a warming planet, no one is safe,’” as “just dumb.” He also listed a number of factors that undermined the IPCC’s estimations.

Always check your sources:

So?


What is your completely neutral and un-politically fettered source?


How about you open your mind and look at the facts, instead of trying to shut down anyone you disagree with.


Must be a Lefty.
