Canadian climatologist Timothy Ball isn't afraid to speak out on the IPCC's latest report on climate change. A reporter for The Daily Tribune News of Cartersville, GA, spoke with Ball by phone:
Q: The mainstream media would have us believe that the science of global warming is now settled by the latest IPCC report. Is it true? A: No. It's absolutely false. As soon as people start saying something's settled, it's usually that they don't want to talk about it anymore. They don't want anybody to dig any deeper. It's very, very far from settled. In fact, that's the real problem. We haven't been able to get all of the facts on the table. The IPCC is a purely political setup. There was a large group of people, the political people, who wanted the report to be more harum-scarum than it actually is. In fact, the report is quite a considerable step down from the previous reports. For example, they have reduced the potential temperature rise and they've reduced the sea level increase and a whole bunch of other things. Part of it is because they know so many people will be watching the report this time.
