| Re: Bad science ....
According to some of my reading Zan very few of the people actively involved with the IPCC are/were climatologists. I take eeyore's comments on board about mathematicians, but my point was that a mathematician may well be needed to collate, interpret, etc, but that in no manner qualifies him to comment on the accuracy of the original research work.
Apparently many of those who signed never even attended the symposium, they received a copy of its conclusions and were asked to sign if they agreed with it.
Many apparently refused simply because they had no access to the original research, as I would have done.
Remember the Cold Fusion fiasco?
If anyone is to assess the skill of the cancer surgeon who operated on me I would prefer it not to be a mathematician!
