The IPCC Is Stuffed With Scientifically Illiterate, Young Activists, Not

Proof?

He provided evidence which you snipped.

Why did you snip the evidence and then ask for evidence?

here is what you snipped, which answers your question:


"Richard Klein, now a Dutch geography professor, is a classic example. In
1992 Klein turned 23, completed a Masters degree, and worked as a
Greenpeace campaigner. Two years later, at the tender age of 25, he found
himself serving as an IPCC lead author. Klein's online biography tells us
that, since 1994, he has been a lead author for six IPCC reports. On three
of those occasions, beginning in 1997, he served as a coordinating lead
author. This means that Klein was promoted to the IPCC's most senior
author role at age 28 - six years prior to the 2003 completion of his PhD.
Neither his youth nor his thin academic credentials prevented the IPCC
from regarding him as one of the world's top experts.

Nor is he an isolated case. Laurens Bouwer is currently employed by an
environmental studies institute at the VU University Amsterdam. In
1999-2000, he served as an IPCC lead author before earning his Masters in
2001. How can a young man without even a Masters degree become an IPCC
lead author? Good question. Nor is it the only one. Bouwer's expertise is
in climate change and water resources. Yet the chapter for which he first
served as a lead author was titled Insurance and Other Financial Services.
It turns out that, during part of 2000, Bouwer was a trainee at Munich
Reinsurance Company. This means the IPCC chose as a lead author someone
who a) was a trainee, b) lacked a Masters degree, and c) was still a full
decade away from receiving his 2010 PhD.

Sari Kovats, currently a lecturer at the London School of Hygiene and
Tropical Medicine, is an even more egregious example. She didn't earn her
PhD until 2010. Yet back in 1994 - 16 years prior to that event and three
years before her first academic paper was published - Kovats was one of
only 21 people in the entire world selected to work on the first IPCC
chapter that examined how climate change might affect human health. In
total, Kovats has been an IPCC lead author twice and a contributing author
once - all long before she'd completed her PhD."

HTH


So what you are saying is that even a cleaner working at the IPCC
can now write lead reports read by politicos to formulate new
globally warmed cruelty taxes and somehow this will also
allow them to go on and get a PhD in global warmie spewdo science crap.


WoW!

Thats the magic of globally warmed spewdo science.

You have to be a young puppy to be used by the IPCC
to spew and spew well on behalf of the IPCC and its spewdo science.
