From the IPCC's Procedures for the preparation, review, acceptance, adoption, approval, and publication of IPCC reports:

"Changes (other than grammatical or minor editorial changes) made after acceptance by the Working Group or the Panel shall be those necessary to ensure consistency with the Summary for Policymakers or the Overview Chapter."

In other words, the actual reports which contain the science (such as it is) and the data will be edited after the Summary is written, so that the two will be in agreement. And remember that the Summary was itself edited by bureaucrats and various government officials, in secret, yet. And what kind of result do you think they want? Why, one that gives them an excuse to exercise even more control over your daily life, of course.

It's my opinion that most climate "scientists" are completely out of control at this point; unwilling to give up their research grants, media headlines, or their momentary influence on public policy in exchange for standing up for scientific truth. I agree with Dr. Hendrik Tennekes , who writes at Climate Science (in part):

Seventeen years ago, I wrote a column for Weather magazine, expressing my concerns about the lack of honesty, integrity and humility of many climate scientists. “I worry about the arrogance of scientists who claim they can help solve the climate problem, provided their research receives massive increases in funding”, reads one line from my text. Unknown to me, my friend Richard Lindzen was working on his famous paper “Some Cooling Concerning Global Warming”, which appeared in the Bulletin of the AMS at the same time. This was early 1990. It is 2007 now, and I want to ring the alarm bell again. There is a difference, though: then I was worried, now I am angry. I am angry about the Climate Doomsday hype that politicians and scientists engage in. I am angry at Al Gore, I am angry at the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists for resetting its Doomsday clock, I am angry at Lord Martin Rees for using the full weight of the Royal Society in support of the Doomsday hype, I am angry at Paul Crutzen for his speculations about yet another technological fix, I am angry at the staff of IPCC for their preoccupation with carbon dioxide emissions, and I am angry at Jim Hansen for his efforts to sell a Greenland Ice Sheet Meltdown Catastrophe. Speaking of Hansen, Dick Lindzen and I wrote a lighthearted April Fools’ Day parody of his concerns, which was published on Fred Singer’s SEPP website (search for Greenland Green Again) last year (view pdf). I can go on much longer, but I will keep my anger in check.

Yes, we desperately need more modesty, integrity, and balance in the climate field right now, but I think things have gone too far. It won't make much difference what scientists do, even if clowns like Hansen recover their wits and withdraw all their unfounded scarey predictions. We've got politicians involved now on a worldwide scale, AL Gore has been nominated for an Oscar and a Nobel Peace Prize, and sanity has left the building.

I only wish this was Alice in Wonderland, then we'd all wake up and find that it was all just a bizarre dream.
