From its scientific, technical and socio-economic reports over its 26 years the UNIPCC has shaped five political ‘Summaries for Policymakers’ (SMP) assessment reports for its 194 member countries to copy in order to create the international climate/environment policy it seeks using the “settled science”.
In 2007 member countries learned that the real purpose of the “settled science” is “about how we redistribute de facto the world’s wealth”, Dr Ottmar Edenhofer Lead Author AR4 (2007) SPM.
Now we are learning how the SMPs’ shaping process of the “settled science” is reliant on outputs from unvalidated speculative computer models - “Simplifications and differences in assumptions are the reason why output... and projections from all models can differ considerably from the reality that unfolds”.
Dr Ottmar Edenhofer Lead Author AR5 2014 SPM. i.e. longhand for GIGO “Garbage In - Garbage Out”.
Governments who have copied the settled science ‘redistribution policies’ have expended hundreds of billions pursuing GIGO SPMs contributing greatly to their depressing economic situations e.g. the European Union.
Similarly, Australia’s governments - Green/ALP (2007 - 2013) used the “settled science SPMs” as the ‘foundation’ for their policies without disclosing the real purpose, with this result:
i. ongoing interest cost on borrowing equal to 1 x cost of an ABC at $1.2 billion/month or about $14 billion/year;
ii. inordinate borrowings with threatening debt levels; and
iii. a depressing loss of industry and jobs.
The Abbott Government is now expected to magically recover Australia from this very difficult situation by repaying the capital borrowed, “saving” one ABC equivalent each month, whilst stimulating/creating new industries and jobs.
A challenge made hugely more difficult by the obstructionism of Green/ALP Senators on behalf of those who blindly followed the ‘settled science’.
This is dumb. Whither trust and honesty?
