Canadian scientist says UN's global warming panel 'crossing
the line'

A senior Canadian climate scientist says the United Nations'
panel on global warming has become tainted by political advocacy,
that its chairman should resign, and that its approach to science
should be overhauled.
Andrew Weaver, a climatologist at the University of Victoria,
says the leadership of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC) has allowed it to advocate for action on global
warming, rather than serve simply as a neutral science advisory
body.
"There's been some dangerous crossing of that line,"
said Weaver on Tuesday, echoing the published sentiments of
other top climate scientists in the U.S. and Europe this week.
"Some might argue we need a change in some of the upper
leadership of the IPCC, who are perceived as becoming advocates,"
he told Canwest News Service. "I think that is a very legitimate
question."
Weaver also says the IPCC has become too large and unwieldy.
He says its periodic reports, such as the 3,000 page, 2007 report
that won the Nobel Prize, are eating up valuable academic resources
and driving scientists to produce work on tight, artificial
deadlines, at the expense of other, longer-term inquiries that
are equally important to understanding climate change.
