		<description>Gluckman has been very quiet lately in regard to climate change. I did a NEWS search at Google and Bing:-

sir peter gluckman climate

Result:-

Your search - sir peter gluckman climate - did not match any documents. 

We didn&#039;t find any results for sir peter gluckman climate.

On the WEB, the last link seems to be about 9 Jun 2010.</description>

		<description>The British Royal Society recently released a statement that &quot;Any public perception that the science is somehow fully settled is wholly incorrect,&quot; thus contradicting Prof Gluckman. And if the science isn&#039;t settled, there can hardly ever have been &quot;consensus&quot; on the issue.

A paper by Mike Hulme, Professor of Climate Change at the University of East Anglia, from which the Climategate emails emerged, admits that the actual group involved in the &quot;consensus&quot; that &quot;human activities are having a significant influence on the climate&quot; was in fact &quot;only a few dozen,&quot; rather than the thousands invoked by the IPCC.

Who were those &quot;few dozen&quot; people (51, to be exact, according to Melbourne researcher, John McLean)? They were authors hand-picked by the 40-odd Government servants making up the IPCC Bureau.

Last week, economist Richard Tol, one of the IPCC&#039;s own lead authors, suggested that the whole IPCC process should be suspended until the scandalous selection of authors has been fixed.</description>

		<description>I have to agree here. As soon as I hear someone utter the word &quot;denier&quot; I immediately switch off and think &quot;I cannot take this person seriously.&quot;

Whilst this might be acceptable for some of the blogosphere, whose inhabitants seem to rejoice in patronising their questioners and belittle their scientific abilities, I do not expect this of a Chief Scientist. 

Even Prof (now Sir) John Beddington, UK Chief Scientist, a fervent proponent of the AGW cause, has stated on public record that the &quot;sceptics&quot; should be listened to, and have at times been proven to be right.

For example:

&lt;em&gt;The impact of global warming has been exaggerated by some scientists and there is an urgent need for more honest disclosure of the uncertainty of predictions about the rate of climate change, according to the Government’s chief scientific adviser. &lt;/em&gt;

And this:

&lt;em&gt;Climate change sceptics should not be dismissed, the Government&#039;s chief scientific adviser has said, as he called for more openness in the global warming debate.&lt;/em&gt;
