Media hype on climate change

By:

Neil McCubbin

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its Fifth Assessment Report in November. Despite being an engineer who has worked with numbers and computer simulations even more than the average engineer has, I find the IPCC reports very heavy reading, with masses of data, often qualified as being imprecise. I cannot imagine any of the politicians that I have met personally having either the time, inclination or capacity to read and understand these reports.
