Climate experts: Global warming report ‘hijacked by bureaucrats’:
- Despite issuing numerous warnings on the future dangers presented by global warming, a UN report issued yesterday on climate was grossly inadequate, some top US scientists are claiming.
“The science got hijacked by the political bureaucrats at the late stage of the game,” argued John Walsh, a climate expert at the University of Alaska Fairbanks who helped draft parts of the report.
An article in today’s Washington Post describes how the US as well as Chinese officials were effective in softening much of the language directed their way. One sentence in particular saying that “Mitigation measures will…be required,” to cope with climate change did not appear in the final draft.
