I’ve decided to stick with the word climategate, but expand its meaning to include issues that have been raised regarding errors and biases in the IPCC reports. I don’t plan to say much on this topic, I will just play policeman. I’m 90% convinced of doing this; your comments and suggestions here will convince me of whether or not I should do this.<br /><br />The issue is still alive; the investigations (whatever their merits or shortcomings) have failed to restore confidence. Andrew Montford’s recent report http://www.thegwpf.org/images/stories/gwpf-reports/Climategate-Inquiries.pdf plus the IAC report http://reviewipcc.interacademycouncil.net/ should provide much fodder for reflection and discussion.<br /><br />The challenge will be to keep this from turning into open warfare. Some guidelines I know I already want are:<br />• no mentioning of individual names that were involved in any aspect of climategate, with mention of “Mann” or “Jones” grounds for automatic deletion of the message<br />• no excerpts of emails (that has been hashed to death elsewhere)<br />• word count limit (i’m prepared to relax this to say 500 words on a more focused open thread)<br />• other suggestions?<br /><br />We won’t get past the “climate wars” until this receives an airing. I’m hoping to focus on the constructive rather than the “blame game.” Thoughts for how to accomplish this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8524070301101240472.post-27207194625354241832010-09-12T16:28:08.915-07:002010-09-12T16:28:08.915-07:00Sigh.
