Science by litigation may be the likelier course of action.

DOE sends a “litigation hold notice” regarding CRU to employees – asking to “preserve documents”

Could not an Institute – such as the Frazer Institute, not create a public challenge, a huge public challenge, for the proponents of both sides to present the data and defend their massaging and positions? I am a professional geologist with some background in glacial history, and some personal experience in the matter. The positions of the AGW camp are so hardwired that I cannot see them as other than completely brittle in the face of a public examination.

Research going on? Based on what data, I wonder. An “educated guess” for the IPCC, at this point, is an oxymoron.

The only thing I see “tipping over” is the IPCC's credibility into the flaming abyss.

The fact that we don't know everything doesn't mean we don't know anything.

The IPCC spends a great deal of time highlighting the limits of our knowledge, as does any scientific document. But while uncertainties exist (obviously, and I am actually working on a post to highlight some of them), they cut both ways. And the research going on in refards to feedbacks ant tipping points is painting a picture that is far worse (sea-ice albedo tipping points notwithstanding) that what the IPCC suggested.
