AR5

The first order draft (FOD) of the IPCC 5th Assessment Report is being circulated among climate scientists for comment. Here are the comments of one expert reviewer, Alec Rawls.

It is the SUN , stupid.

The SUN is implicated in the rise of global warming throughout the period examined 1750-2010 to a high degree of probability "The empirical evidence in favor of the solar explanation is overwhelming."

But the IPCC assumes the temperature rise is due to human induced CO2 contributions to the atmosphere. 

This is called stacking the deck. It is not an honest approach to the science but is pre-designed to generate a desired outcome for political and economic reasons.

The pre-determined outcome for AR5 is not a summary of climate science but a promotion of political science.

Shameful!
