I normally bite only once per thread, but this earns an exception.

Anonymous shows his/her foolishness by extracting one sentence from a long quotation, losing all context. The purpose of the IPCC is to interpret research for policy makers, not to do research itself. It relies on the world scientific community and the peer review process to monitor that research. It is an organ not only of the United Nations, but also the World Meteorological Organization. It has an impressive constituency of members, whom Anonymous dismisses as politcal and corrupt.

To support his/her dubious claims, Anonymous quotes from the best known of the deniers.

And thus because of his/her political bias, Anonymous refuses to follow my link to the IPCC site, where a vast collection of scientific data has been analyzed and compiled, with numerous links to original peer-reviewed research.

Do you believe Anonymous or the IPCC?

If you believe Anonymous, come to Gadfly for a well-deserved bite. Foolish people are my favorite intellectual meal.

This bite of realism brought to you by "Gadfly."
