John Holdren’s IPCC Myths

The IPCC’s conclusions are not based solely on painstaking studies. Nor is the IPCC’s source material all published in peer-reviewed journals. In fact, 30% of the references in the IPCC’s 2007 report (5,587 out of 18,531) are to grey literature – including press releases, magazine articles, and advocacy material produced by groups such as Greenpeace. Furthermore, the genuinely peer-reviewed material cited by the IPCC amounts to several thousand studies. Simple arithmetic indicates that only a fraction could possibly have appeared in the world’s leading journals.

House Votes To Defund IPCC

For example, famed Princeton University physicist Dr. Robert Austin, who has published 170 scientific papers and was elected a member of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences. Dr. Austin told a congressional committee that, unfortunately, climate has become a political science. It is tragic the some perhaps well-meaning but politically motivated scientists who should know better have whipped up a global frenzy about a phenomenon which is statistically questionable at best.

Defunding the EPA won’t hurt its ability to regulate

The real problem here, though, isn’t how much money the EPA is receiving, but the authority that EPA has to regulate. If Republicans are looking to prevent the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases, for instance, simply cutting funds isn’t enough.
