Defending IPCC

Dear ______, (sent individually to about 10 United Nations staff members, identified through web. Also sent to William Collins, author of Scientific American article summarizing the 2007 IPCC reports. A few others.)

The purpose of this email is to request expert assistance in clarifying the scientific explanation of global warming predictions. A group of serious reviewers here in the US is unable verify the science put forward by the IPCC. We genuinely want to verify the science. We have read the IPCC reports, along with hundreds of other sources. We find credible dissent of the IPCC science, but we have no credible, technically-detailed defense of the IPCC position.

Statements defending the IPCC are clear, but where is the proof? We have evidence suggesting the IPCC science has holes below the waterline. We need someone who can respond to technical, scientific criticism of the IPCC with technical information.

We are trying to find someone who can defend the IPCC position.

Can you possibly help us find a climate science expert who can answer technical questions and provide reference data supporting the answers?

It seems that it should be easy to find an expert to assist, considering that so many experts support the IPCC view. Unfortunately, it has proven impossible so far.

Any information or suggestions you can offer would be extremely much appreciated.

Best regards,
Dan Allen
Montpelier, VT USA

Dear Dan
I am reading your request on my way home for the WE after an exhausting week. If you don't mind I would appreciate if you could wait for a response next week. Many thanks! Brenda (sent from Switzerland)

NOTE
----------------
When I heard back from Brenda, I wrote to the others to whom I had sent my inquiry at the WMO, informing them my request was being addressed by Brenda. I have received an acknowledgment from a senior scientist at the WMO.
