What good would that do? I'm an engineer, not a climate scientist.

This whole argument centres around the premise that the IPCC wants to find out that the globe is warming. This is ridiculous conspiracy theory nonsense, and I don't give it a second thought.

And you can play the 'check your source' game until the cows come home. Fact is, you're no closer to 'your truth' than I am to mine. At some stage we're both going to have to believe what we're being told by someone who's decision/knowledge/impartiality is very difficult to judge. I've chosen to believe those that advocate risk mitigation to an enormous number of people. The sceptics position chooses to believe those that protect their personal status quo and shield them from financial responsibility.
