UPDATE: The American Interest has the obit
This from someone who believes there is more than sufficient reason to wonder about climate change, all but makes it official:
"Now it has failed. Not everything that has come out of the IPCC and the East Anglia Climate Unit is false, but enough of their product is sufficiently tainted that these institutions can best serve the cause of fighting climate change by stepping out of the picture. New leadership might help, but everything these two agencies have done will now have to be re-checked by independent and objective sources.
"The global warming campaigners got into this mess because they had a deeply flawed political strategy. They were never able to develop a pragmatic approach that could reach its goals in the context of the existing international system.
"The global warming movement proposed a complex set of international agreements involving vast transfers of funds, intrusive regulations in national economies, and substantial changes to the domestic political economies of most countries on the planet.
"As it happened, the movement never got to the first step — it never got the world’s countries to agree to the necessary set of treaties, transfers and policies that would constitute, at least on paper, a program for achieving its key goals."
This post on the AI blog and written by Walter Russell Maed is thoughtful, loaded with useful insights, and well worth pondering regardless whether one agrees or disagrees with global warming alarmists like former Vice-President Al Gore.
