On 2GB tonight. Help me give a welcome home to the Ship of Fools Ken replied to Mr. Jordon Wed 22 Jan 14 (11:51am) NO "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." The IPCC its self admits, We got it wrong on warming, says IPCC THE UN's climate change chief, Rajendra Pachauri, has acknowledged a 17-year pause in global temperature rises, confirmed recently by Britain's Met Office, but said it would need to last "30 to 40 years at least" to break the long-term global warming trend. Dr Pachauri, the chairman of the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, said that open discussion about controversial science and politically incorrect views was an essential part of tackling climate change. In a wide-ranging interview on topics that included this year's record northern summer Arctic ice growth, the US shale-gas revolution, the collapse of renewable energy subsidies across Europe and the faltering European carbon market, Dr Pachauri said no issues should be off-limits for public discussion. In Melbourne for a 24-hour visit to deliver a lecture for Deakin University, Dr Pachauri said that people had the right to question the science, whatever their motivations. "People have to question these things and science only thrives on the basis of questioning," Dr Pachauri said. Your post sounds like the complete opposite to what the head of the IPCC has called for Debate not belittlement.
