    Read the book by Donna Laframboise who actually worked there and saw how these "reports" are compiled. It is an eye-opener.
    The IPCC is funded by politicians with the goal to promote a political agenda. If it does not produce the desired results, it loses its reason to exist.

    Question: if Donna Laframboise wrote a book about how everything was fine with the IPCC and we should all listen to them, do you think that would sell as well as her criticism?

    She didn't work there and critises about 0.6% of the report. Meanwhile, Shell and other industry participants contributed to the report and subscribe to its findings and process. See for instance: https://reports.shell.com/annual-report/2018/strategic-report/climate-change-and-energy-transition.php

    Meanwhile raspberrylady is a nobody peddling lies.

    I wish somehow that Trump could realize that we are all God’s children and that God loves him. I know I will catch heat for this from the atheists, but you gotta admit that things would go much more civilly, peacefully, and harmoniously if he believed this equally about himself and his so-called enemies, even if only in a figurative sense.

    That would depend on the book. In the event, she writes about her experience inside the IPCC, which speak for themselves. And she is not the only one. Anyone who takes a closer look at the workings of the IPCC knows we should not take the IPCC reports as bible.

    Even if he suddenly believes that that all the corrupt swamp creatures who are out to get him are Gods children, I don´t see how that changes the situation he is in, so I am not sure what youre getting at. He still has to live and act in the real world, even if he prays to Yahwee 7 times a day...

    Again evading the question. A pity. Why so scared though?

    No-one has suggested we should. Unfortunately, this kind of straw-manning is all anyone ever seems to do in these discussions.

    Atheist or theist - Christian charity is the baddest penny. We can only hope Trump's (deranged-deranging) hubris presages a fall.

    That is very cynical and unChristian. I am not holding my breath, and I don’t think Trump’s chances are good considering the 2018 outcome, but to insinuate that I don’t wish for him to be a better person is to completely miss the point of Christianity.

    I actually have a fear of an upcoming race war if Trump falls, instigated by the Neo-Nazis and other fervent Trump supporters. I am sincere about this, and I think Trump would probably welcome it.

    I had the same fear in 2016. But the 1st anniversary of Charlottesville closed the chapter. I think the most we'll see is an uptick in Antifa-Whitey skirmishes. So many doxxed Nazis scared the undoxxed.

    In the end, Americans are too addicted to screens and fat and sugar to go urban guerilla.



    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unite_the_Right_rally

    After Charlottesville refused to approve another march, Unite the Right held an anniversary rally on August 11–12, 2018, in Washington D.C.[32] The rally was expected to draw large protests from opposing religious organizations, civil rights groups, and anti-fascist organizers.[33][34] The rally drew only 20–30 protesters amidst thousands of counter-protestors.

    "Claims such as '2500 of the worlds leading scientists have reached a consensus that human activities are having a significant influence on the climate' are disingenious. Giving the impression that the IPCC consensus means everyone agrees with everyone else (...) is unhelpful. It does not reflect the uncertain, exploratory and sometimes contested nature of scientific knowledge."

    Mike Hulme, IPCC lead author

    My guess was that he was discharged because he didn’t get violent. He was most likely cooperative.
