Sam; Their reports have changed over the years, and not for the better Yes and so has public perception of the problem. It wasn't long ago that everyone poopooed GW. Today the only issue is if man is contributing. People become educated - it just is frustratingly slow at times. steve

First of all, the groups were intentionally made up of scientists from many different nations and continents. Second, they were all scientists who were specializing in the areas of their working groups. Third, the composition of the groups and even most of the IPCC was changed from report to report. Of course. I personally remember the Rio round of the climate change conference that led up to the Kyoto treaty. From EPA and from every other entity they send the lead folks on global warming. These are not neutral people. Not that they should be. We could hardly send Charles Barkley and Kelly Clarkson. They may be unbiased but they would be lost in the subject matter. The point is that the people involved have predispositions. You can't get away from that.
