During the period for public comment on the EPA’s proposed Endangerment finding, I submitted a comment by following the EPA’s own procedure. In this comment, I pointed out that the IPCC’s conjecture of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) lacked refutability by reference to instrument readings, thus lying outside science. Subsequently, the EPA published a response which (allegedly) addressed each one of the public comments it had received. In this response, the EPA failed to acknowledge receipt of or refute my contention that the AGW conjecture lacked refutability thus lying outside science. I responded to this inaccuracy with a letter to the EPA’s administrator, Lisa Jackson. In my letter to Jackson, I pointed out that the EPA’s response to public comments was materially inaccurate. Year later, I’ve not heard from Jackson.

Congratulations, Dr. Carlin!

Based on past performance, response from the IPCC movers and shakers (e.g. Trenberth) was entirely predictable.

It would have been nice if the OIG had pointed out that – notwithstanding the inclusion of a lengthy recitation of IPCC’s “policies and procedures” – the 2010 IAC review of these policies and procedures (which did not include any examination of “the science”) concluded that the IPCC wasn’t following its own rules.

So in effect, the EPA – which didn’t follow its own rules -relied on the increasingly disputed “findings” of yet another group which didn’t follow its own rules!

And they expect the general public to “trust” them?!

Amazing.
