A UN scientist is declaring that his three fellow UN climate panel
colleagues "should be barred from the IPCC process." In a November 26, 2009
message on his website, UN IPCC contributing author Dr. Eduardo Zorita writes:
"CRU files: Why I think that Michael Mann, Phil Jones and Stefan Rahmstorf
should be barred from the IPCC process."
Zorita writes that the short answer to that question is: Short answer:
"Because the scientific assessments in which they may take part are not
credible anymore."
Zorita indicates that he is aware that he is putting his career in jeopardy
by going after the upper echelon of UN IPCC scientists. "By writing these lines
I will just probably achieve that a few of my future studies will, again, not
see the light of publication," Zorita candidly admits, a reference to the
ClimateGate emails discussing how to suppress data and scientific studies that
do not agree with the UN IPCC views.
Zorita's stunning candor continued, noting that scientists who disagreed
with the UN IPCC climate view were "bullied and subtly blackmailed."
"In this atmosphere, Ph D students are often tempted to tweak their data so
as to fit the 'politically correct picture'. Some, or many issues, about
climate change are still not well known. Policy makers should be aware of the
attempts to hide these uncertainties under a unified picture. I had the
'pleasure' to experience all this in my area of research," Zorita explained.
No doubt a public lynching of Zorita is to come. And why this is so is the
reason climate change is a religion and not a science.
