On: What's Really Warming the World?

[marcus_holmes]

A lot of the IPCC lead authors are paid by NGO's (like Greenpeace) with a vested interest in climate alarmism. Do we discount their work too?

Climate science covers a lot of different areas, everything from economics, through hard chemistry and fluid dynamics, to pure statistics. No one person can be an expert on all of this, and no one qualification will make anyone competent in all of them. Experts from related disciplines are perfectly qualified to speak on "their" areas of climate science.

Greenpeace is a non-profit, so they have much less to gain from 'climate alarmism' than the fossil fuel industry does from climate denial.

Monkcton studied classics and received a post-grad diploma in journalism. That's pretty far removed from being a related discipline.
