The IPCC has the highest international credibility in terms of CC science. IPCC reports are written by teams of authors, nominated by governments and international organizations. They come from universities, research centers, business and environmental associations from all over the world. More than 800 contributing authors and more than 450 lead authors were involved in the writing of the AR4. Review is an essential part of the IPCC process, to ensure an objective and complete assessment of current information. More than 2500 scientific expert reviewers were involved in the two-stage scientific and technical review process of the AR4. As usual the government officials were involved in work on the summary reports, but the scientist (authors), who are not paid for this, had the final word over the thousands of pages of texts.
Hmmm. so it says it chose the authors and used 2500 scientist to review. But then there's this: In fact, once the duplicated names are removed that number falls below 2,900 and if we only want those who explicitly supported the claims it falls to only about 60. So how does 4,000 become 60? Let's take a closer look at the real numbers... http://mclean.ch/climate/docs/IPCC_numbers_orig.pdf Even the telegraph admits it's a mess: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environment/climatechange/7177230/New-errors-in-IPCC-climate-change-report.html You really have to be a fanatic to stand behind that report after all these years. .
