UN IPCC’s Eduardo Zorita: ‘I really do not see how the IPCC can help policy makers’

Zorita: “I guess that very few, if any, policy makers are reading WG-I report…I personally would have advocated much more transparency, for instance making the IPCC author meetings public on the internet. …I hope that in 50 years, with long series of satellite data, we will know how sensitive climate is to external perturbations, and probably we will know how large internal climate variability is. But, hopefully, at that time anthropogenic the carbon dioxide will have ceased to be an issue. My tentative prediction is that the main source of energy will be geothermal and that climate science will be focused on other fields…”

Flashback 2009: UN scientists turn on each other: UN Scientist Declares Climategate colleagues Mann, Jones and Rahmstorf ‘should be barred from the IPCC process’ — They are ‘not credible any more’ — UN IPCC’s Eduardo Zorita: ‘By writing these lines I will just probably achieve that a few of my future studies will, again, not see the light of publication’
