AR5 inquiry - written evidence

Dec 18, 2013
Bishop Hill in Climate: Parliament

The House of Commons Energy and Climate Change Committee has published the written submissions of evidence to its inquiry into the IPCC's Fifth Assessment Report. There are many familiar names including Nic Lewis, Pielke Sr, Michael Kelly, plus lots of BH regulars.

From the establishment side of the debate there are submissions from the Met Office, the Grantham Institute, the Royal Society, the Royal Meteorological Society and DECC. These are what you might call "brazen", a shameless chorus of claims that the science is "even more certain than before". The models can fail completely, study after study can show that climate sensitivity is lower than previously thought, the long-predicted increase in extreme weather can fail to materialise and yet scientists are are more confident than ever that they are right.

The things you have to do to get ahead in the civil service eh?
