U.N. Climate Panel Embraces 'Diversity' -- Geographically

"The U.N. cannot be trusted on this issue," said Peter Ferrara, a former Reagan White House policy adviser, and associate U.S. deputy attorney general, who is now with the Institute for Policy Innovation. "They have a vested interest. They want to use global warming concerns to create laws that will increase their power. They are about as biased as a big oil company when it comes to the environment."

Oh my aching head , the U.N is getting ready to try and justify part of their existence , through Diversity .

not that any of these asswipes know what they are doing or talking about but there are Women on the panel this time for the new Climate report !

That is their diverseness , Women , not saying if they are Scientists or not just that they have included Women !

So if you thought it was bad before just wait , it gets better !

Diversity, apparently, is in the eye of the beholder.

The United Nations, which has come under fire for stocking its climate change group with scientists who are lockstep in their endorsement of the theory of manmade global warming, is trumpeting the "more diverse" panel it has selected for its fifth report on the issue, expected in 2014.

But that doesn't mean the UN is assembling a group that is open-minded to contrary theories. All it means, critics say, is that the scientists will come from a more diverse range of countries.

The more things change, they say, the more you can bet they'll stay the same.

According to the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 60 percent of the team it assembled to produce its fifth assessment on climate change -- a document called the "AR5" -- is new to the panel. The report then loudly trumpets the wide array of participating countries and an increased number of women among the panelists -- not their viewpoints on the contentious issue they will study.

"Participation from developing countries has been increased reflecting the ongoing efforts to improve regional coverage in the AR5," the IPCC says. "About 30% of [the report's] authors will come from developing countries or economies in transition," the IPCC says. "The proportion of female experts has significantly increased since the AR4, reaching approximately 25% of the selected authors."

But the U.N.'s complete list of authors doesn't cite their field of expertise or their perspective on climate change. In fact, the country each scientist comes from is the only bit of information the U.N. deemed relevant to cite.

Asked to explain how the U.N. selected the panel from among 3,000 nominees, spokeswoman Carine Richard Van Maele declined to comment. But Michael Mann of Penn State University, a leading global-warming guru, was enthusiastic about the selections. "It looks like a great bunch of scientists, and I'm happy to see a lot of new blood in there, and an appropriate diversity of backgrounds, experiences and viewpoints," Mann told FoxNews.com.

But other policy experts and scientists fretted that the panel's geographic diversity won't guarantee an accurate report.

"The U.N. cannot be trusted on this issue," said Peter Ferrara, a former Reagan White House policy adviser, and associate U.S. deputy attorney general, who is now with the Institute for Policy Innovation. "They have a vested interest. They want to use global warming concerns to create laws that will increase their power. They are about as biased as a big oil company when it comes to the environment."
