Canadian Professor Ross McKitrick has called for "radical reform" of the UN IPCC. In his latest newsletter (No.311), New Zealand expert reviewer, Dr Vincent Gray writes: "McKitrick's recommendations for reform are a set of proposals for the leopard to change his spots. His belief that the IPCC could become 'fair' and operate a genuine scientific debate is futile  because most of them know that this would lead to their departure. Recommendation 12 seems to envisage this but there is no need for an international body to impose one point of view on any branch of science. The IPCC should be abolished."

John Cook, a blogger who runs the site with the ambush title “SkepticalScience” (which unskeptically defends the mainstream position), has tried to revive the put-down and smear strategy against the thousands of scientists who disagree. The new paper confounds climate research with financial forces, is based on the wrong assumptions, uses fallacious reasoning, wasn’t independent, and confuses a consensus of climate scientists for a scientific consensus, not that a consensus proves anything anyway, if it existed. His paper alleging a "97% consensus" support for man-made global warming, has been comprehensively torn to shreds by West Australian blogger, Joanne Nova.

An interesting video in which US TV host John Stossel attempts to engage NASA scientist Dr Gavin Schmidt in debate with Dr Roy Spencer.  Like other alarmist scientists, Schmidt refuses to debate, so Mr Stossel records their views separately, before winding up with an explanation by UK scientist and author Matt Ridley why human emissions of carbon dioxide are good for the Earth and its people.  Watch, listen and form your own opinion.

"Of all of the world's chemical compounds, none has a worse reputation than carbon dioxide. Thanks to the single-minded demonization of this natural and essential atmospheric gas by advocates of government control of energy production, the conventional wisdom about carbon dioxide is that it is a dangerous pollutant. That's simply not the case. Contrary to what some would have us believe, increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will benefit the increasing population on the planet by increasing agricultural productivity." Two top U.S. scientists write in the Wall Street Journal.
