Something most ordinary folk already knew for a long time, it more to do with politics than science. Where would be the multibillion green industry be if it wasn't for the exaggerated threat.

The funny part will be to watch the Legion of regularly scheduled UN bashers who consistently point out its absolute irrevelance (recall the reaction to the recent reports on Canada from the UN) that will suddenly leap onto the UN bandwagon because it says something they agree with.

Come noe... let's make up our mind about the source here.

Nice spin of the article on thread title, Benn. Your choice of thread title proves the actual content of the article: that the truth doesn't matter. :roll:

The UN isn’t irrelevant, it’s just fucked and totally dysfunctional. With Human Rights committees led by oppressive and despotic nations as one of the many bright and shining lies.

Peace keeping has decayed into funding forces of badly trained, poorly led and equipped Third World armies (Bangladesh and Pakistan have the biggest UN missions) that are seen more as cash generators than peace keepers by the ‘donor’ nations.

On climate change, you had to be suspicious when we were all getting fed BS by the likes of Al Gore and numerous flaky Hollywood types were trying to convince us of ‘facts’.

Facts stand up for themselves.

I think it’s pretty obvious the planet is going through climate change. I just don’t want to fund Samsung windmills Inc or help Al Gore get his third swimming pool off carbon credits.

When something becomes as dysfunctional and fucked up as you suggest, then I'd submit it's irrelevance might be there. Certainly, the same group that denies climate change also tends to deny UN relevance...until the UN comes out with something that they agree with.

Then it's quote time.

Here is what the IPCC has to say about it,

http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/ar5/statement/St ... R5_SOD.pdf

...'The unauthorized and premature posting of the drafts of the WGI AR5, which are works in progress, may lead to confusion because the text will necessarily change in some respects once all the review comments have been addressed. It should also be noted that the cut-off date for peer-reviewed published literature to be included and assessed in the final draft lies in the future (15 March 2013). The text that has been posted is thus not the final report.

This is why the IPCC drafts are not made public before the final document is approved. These drafts were provided in confidence to reviewers and are not for distribution. It is regrettable that one out of many hundreds of reviewers broke the terms of the review and posted the drafts of the WGI AR5. Each page of the draft makes it clear that drafts are not to be cited, quoted or distributed and we would ask for this to continue to be respected.'

But then the denier sites like Watts etc. have no real interest in science, or even context.

You disagree that the UN is dysfunctional?

No, I disagree that it is still relevant. As I stated, when something becomes as dysfunctional and fucked up as you suggest, that I posit that it ceases to be relevant

edit for clarity.

I'm sure when it comes time to release the final report the UN will have twisted straight facts into thousands of knots and the report will reflect what is politically convenient, not reality.

My faith in the UN is bordering on zero. Dysfunctional, irrelevant, and worse than useless.

I wish somebody would explain to me how global warming is politically expedient? Who gains from falsely claiming global warming? What I see is political leaders paying lip service to it while doing little about it, because nobody wants to be the sucker whos going to ruin their economy first.

Third world countries wanted to use global warming to develop a wealth transfer scheme. The developed nations were supposed to give away money and technology while mothballing our emissions-heavy industries (which would then relocate themselves to countries free of emissions targets).

Sounds like they stood to gain to me. Until the developed world wised up and started demanding that the so called "developing countries" face emissions targets as well. All of a sudden they weren't so keen on it.

Wonder why.
