FIRST EDITION OF A WORKING PAPER EXAMINING IPCC’S WG1 AR5 DRAFT REPORT
January 25, 2012: "POST-MODERN SCIENCE AND THE SCIENTIFIC LEGITIMACY OF THE IPCC’S WG1 AR5 DRAFT REPORT" (submitted to local authorities in Europe), by Arthur Rörsch, PhD, former vice-president of the board of management of the Netherlands Organisation for Applied research, TNO, The Netherlands.
"This paper aims to focus the attention of the scientific community in general - and of political and science administrators in particular - on the need for a critical analysis of the performance and recommendations of the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC). ... Some of the Panel’s procedures conform to post-modern science practices, thereby deviating from the scientific principles that have traditionally applied throughout the history of western scientific endeavour.
"... It is recommended that assessment studies should be undertaken by individual nations, quite independently from the IPCC..."

GLOBAL WARMING ALARMISM DIVORCED FROM THE FACTS
January 6, 2011: "Global warming a modern-day myth", by ICSC (and NZCSC) Energy Issues Advisor: Bryan Leyland, M.Sc., FIEE, FIMechE, FIPENZ, consulting engineer, Auckland, New Zealand, published in The Dominion Post, Wellington, New Zealand and The Press, Christchurch, NZ.
"Although the world did warm by about 0.7C between 1975 and 1988, there has been no significant warming since then. All the major temperature records show that global warming has flattened off. Given that the last sunspot cycle was long and that sunspots are declining, we could be in for a period of cooling that may be quite severe. History tells us that cooling brings famine, disease and war, while warming brings prosperity and good health. Only the IPCC and its minions tell us that warming is bad."

THE SUN, NOT HUMAN ACTIVITY, DRIVES CLIMATE, SCIENTISTS TELL SENATE
"Guelph University Professor of Economics Dr. Ross McKitrick led off the hearing, explaining that the foundation of the climate scare — the science as promulgated by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) — cannot be trusted.
"The so-called Climategate emails confirmed the reality of bias and cronyism in the IPCC process," [said McKitrick]. "… IPCC Assessments are guaranteed merely to repeat and reinforce a set of foregone conclusions that make up the party line."
