Professor Assails Government Climate Report

Written by , Posted in Energy and the Environment

The recent hysteria filled report released by the government on “climate change” is under attack.  A Professor of environmental studies, Roger Pielke Jr. sees a lot of bad science involved:

Imagine if an industry-funded government contractor had a hand in writing a major federal report on climate change. And imagine if that person used his position to misrepresent the science, to cite his own non-peer reviewed work, and to ignore relevant work in the peer-reviewed literature. There would be an outrage, surely . . .

…This post is about how the report summarizes the issue of disasters and climate change, including several references to my work, which is misrepresented. This post is long and detailed, which is necessary to support my claims. But stick with it, or skip to the end if you’ve seen the details before (and long-time readers will have seen them often), there is a surprise at the end.
