An IPCC-er prophesises doom — not from CO2, but political science.
From the Climategate 2.0 collection, IPCC-er Peter Thorne shows he understands the basic problem of alarmism:
I also think the science is being manipulated to put a political spin on it which for all our sakes might not be too clever in the long run.
I get the feeling we are approaching the concluding chapter of a Classical story about a humble shepherd who discovered that sounding the alarm about a great threat to the community earned him much commendation and praise, until the threat repeatedly failed to materialize.
I believe the author of the story was Aesop.
It is a marvelous story, but it would never make a good movie. The ending is quite anti-climactic.
