The House Committee on Science, Space and Technology is set Thursday to hold a hearing titled, “Examining the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Process.”

What’s that “process” about? It seems to imply something unethical or corrupt in the very guts of how the IPCC works, maybe governments buying scientists to fit their politics? I’ve always been suspicious of the IPCC’s claim that its work is “policy-relevant,” not ”policy prescriptive.” Why say that unless, like Richard “I am not a crook” Nixon, you’re guilty?
