Reason Writers Around Town: Shikha Dalmia on Reforming the Vatican of Global Warming
In her latest Forbes column, Reason Foundation Senior Analyst Shikha Dalmia notes that a recent review of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the wake of the GlacierGate scandal is a huge missed opportunity. Instead of asking the organization, whose assessment reports are like the papal encyclicals of the global warming movement, to do some genuine soul searching, the review recommends more bureaucracy and better PR. None of the suggestions address the IPCC's fundamental problem: It has every incentive—financial and otherwise—to buttress the global warming orthodoxy and none to challenge it.
