Earth Daze: Overcoming Environmental Hysteria

Earth Daze: Overcoming Environmental Hysteria - Reason.com:
"The recent hype about global warming comes from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Most of its members are serious scientists.
But reporters don't realize that those scientists, like bird flu specialists, have every incentive to hype the risk. 
If their computer models (which so far have been wrong) predict disaster, they get attention and money. 
If they say, "I'm not sure," they get nothing. 

 Also, the IPCC is not just a panel of scientists.
It's an intergovernmental panel.
It's a bureaucracy controlled by the sort of people who once ran for student council and are "exhilarated by the prospect of putting the thumb of the federal government on the scale." "
