[Terrapreta] Carbon tax

[Greg and April]

In it's own way, the IPCC is the most powerful "lobbing" group in the world, because they have the ear of the UN  ( in many ways it's as if the NRA, was the only organization that could send official reports about guns to congress ).

Even worse than the threat of corruption, is the fact that such a small group of people, are saying that they speak for a consensus of scientists ( and convinced the UN of that ), when there is actually allot of dissension about the subject - and when any scientists tries to go public with opposite beliefs ( and the data that it's based on ), it's scientists from the IPCC ( and in some cases the IPCC it's self ) that lead the charge in discrediting them, not only to just debate the specific issue, but in a way that discredits them as a scientist - in other words not just attacking the subject, but attacking the person as well. 

In many ways I find that when they start attacking the person rather than the subject, that diminishes my belief in any data that they ( the IPCC and it's members ) have brought forward, in part because I wonder what it is, that they are trying to hide.

  Hi Kevin,

  You've twisted my words, yet again, to try and make a case based on what you think I've said and vastly different from what I think I am proposing (this is your game, not mine).  I do not believe that the IPCC is a small group of conspirator scientists and bureaucrats.  The recommendations of the IPCC were and are to policy makers.  The IPCC does not make the policy and is not active in changing the activities of governments or corporate offices.  What political and business forces do with this information and how they attempt to "spin" it is, I think, more of a potential problem and a fertile ground for corruption, than what the scientists did to make recommendations thay made, based on their scientific findings.  Scientists do not stand to make nearly as much as industrialists or political and marketing forces.
