As I have reported before,the IPCC is a money making machine for the third world. Here is a supporting opinion:-"When confronted with overwhelming "scientific evidence", one should keep in mind the basic question any criminal investigator learns to ask whenever being confronted with a puzzling case: who is benefitting? In the case of "climate change science", the answer is simple, since in the past decades a trillion-dollar-business has sprung up providing all sorts of equipment and services intended to lower what is dubbed our "CO2 footprint". Whole sectors such as solar and wind energy farms have grown like mushrooms promising to supply our nations with so-called clean and green energy. -
"These sectors have one common mark distinguishing them from normal business activities. They do not provide us with a better or a cheaper product, one that we would want to buy, but rely on subsidies guaranteed by legal frameworks instead. During the past 20 years, they have grown from modest to big to supersized and now feature the proportions of a cuckoo hatchling in the nest of a tiny songbird. This powerful business sector has all the money and resources to pay for adequate services in the world of science. And modern science is by no means impartial. Scientific institutions are business units with a well-developed service orientation that will of course avoid anything that might displease their sponsors. The same applies of course for state-run agencies such as NASA or NOAA, who are supervised and alimented by political bodies packed with green-minded politicians. So forget about any claims of "pure" science, ignore colorful screenshots and simply sniff for the smell of money ... and you'll be on the right trail."-
