You folks ought to go visit ww.ipcc.ch and have a look at what sort of reviews the Assessment Reports go through before they're published. And that would be besides the fact that they are based on peer reviewed data to begin with. Comparing the Assessment Reports with say, something available on Arxiv is like comparing a post grad lecture to the babbling of a two year old. Look at the study Owl posted from Arxiv that supposedly "proved" that global warming wasn't due to human GHG emissions. That was so sourndly refuted by post #78 that I should hope Owl and the authors of that piece of shit should feel more comfortable under a damp rock someplace.

You're sending us to the IPCC website to show the IPCC report is peer-reviewed? ...

That's too funny, ya loon ... send us to a peer-review site and show where they've reviewed the entire IPCC report ...
From
your link:
"Each IPCC report starts with a scoping meeting to develop a draft outline."
They set their agenda ...
"Experts nominated by member governments, Observer Organizations and the Bureau and selected by the relevant Bureau prepare a draft outline of the report for the Panel."
Experts who agree with the agenda are hired ...
One of the world's foremost experts on hurricanes ... Doctor Mark Landsea ... was dismissed off the panel for pointing out we don't have enough scientifically accurate data to make claims about changes in hurricane frequency or intensity ... show me where this was challenged and answered in the IPCC report ... as required by nominative peer-review process ...
Not clear what the Arxiv reference is ... is this a local "paper mill" ... some less-than-reputable scientific journal that just about anyone can get a paper published for a master's or doctor's degree? ... well, check the university the paper's coming from and judge the value on the university's reputation ... is it from MIT or Ichydick Tech? ...
The IPCC report contains scientific information ... but the IPCC report is
NOT a scientific publication ... it is political ... and written specifically for elected officials by the United Nations ... yes, the United Nations did publish the report ... themselves ... thus the report is
self published ... duh ...
