The Cataclysmic Melting - Of The IPCC.

On of the lead authors of the IPCC global warming reports, Canadian climatologist Andrew Weaver, has quit the IPCC with parting advice about replacement of IPCC leadership and institutional reform.

In today's National Post, Terence Corcoran details Weaver's qualms and waxes satirical about the probable demise of the IPCC:
In the language typical of an IPCC report, one might say that the radiative forcing created by Climategate and Glaciergate strongly suggest this is very likely to bring about cataclysmic melting of the organization within the next portion of the current decadal period. The words "very likely" in IPCC risk assessment terms mean a 90% or greater probability that something will happen. As it looks now, the IPCC is burnt toast and unless it is overhauled fast there's a 90% probability the climate-change political machine is going to come crashing down.
