Considering the way Donna LaFramboise's goes after the IPCC and it's peer review process in her "Delinquent" chapter 11. I thought this might be a good place to introduce some objective evidence that Donna will be ignoring.
Contrary to Donna's hostile fantasies and Pachauri's effusive PR language, no informed adult seriously claims the IPCC is a "Bible" nor that it's perfect.
It is a human endeavor, subject to the same failing that all great endeavors have been susceptible to. But, like other great human endeavors a few mistakes don't detract from a solid foundation and steady progress.
Here is a press release from 2010 by the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency, who did an in depth study of the IPCC literature review process.
I found their language much more convincing than Donna's melodrama.
It is a human endeavor, subject to the same failing that all great endeavors have been susceptible to. But, like other great human endeavors a few mistakes don't detract from a solid foundation and steady progress.
