“They can’t attack the science so they attack the chairman. But they won’t sink me. I am the unsinkable Molly Brown. In fact, I will float much higher.”
- Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC,
Quite probably: for the really big chunks do float to the top of the septic tank

That’s an image I really didn’t need.

Mr Pachauri should bear in mind that, while Ms Brown was indeed ‘unsinkable’, the ship in which she was riding – was not.

I’ll start attacking the science when the methods and data for all the models are published.

“I will float much higher.”
meaning that he’s the biggest “chunk” of the lot?

I fully agree with Optimistic Cynic. How do we know how good the science is if there is inadequate disclosure of data and the methods of analysis?

Rh – on gthe contrary, we know EXACTLY how good the science is…

I regret that I cannot “attack the science” any more that I can attack the Loch Ness Monster. For much the same reasons. As pseudoscience goes, the “Glaciers are all melting” is pretty thin stuff based as it is upon one phone conversation over 10 years ago.
Oh and a Dog ate the IPCC’s homework.
