I have noticed around the blogs some patient and kindly folks attempting to summarise my overly verbose account of investigations into the background of the Chapter 8 controversy.
I welcome these. And I welcome various interpretations. I am purposely inconclusive. However, I may have confused some folks as to what I am suggesting it was that went wrong in Madrid. Therefore, I thought it might be useful at this stage to explicitly clarify my current understanding of how the Scientific Assessment of the IPCC was first corrupted in its first positive human attribution claim.
