Critical thought by scientists & investigators needed. Peter Wadhams is sharp but correct. Fatal systemic IPCC bias ("erring on the side of least drama") is well documented but rarely challenged. Especially methane.

One example - interesting paper out soon, if I read this correctly. @lasch2002

@lasch2002 3/ For anyone who is new to these questions: they are so stressful because - in climate terms - there is a good chance that if we don't sort these out, almost nothing else we do really matters. And they are hard to sort.

@lasch2002 @PaulHBeckwith 4/ For connoisseurs: saw this carbonbrief attack on the Arctic Methane Emergency Group first time recently.
Before my time but - wow what a candidate for worst-aging climate article.
What could have been. So much lost time.... @EliotJacobson @jim27182

@lasch2002 @PaulHBeckwith @EliotJacobson @jim27182 5/ Investigation by @amywestervelt: how oil-producing countries and the fossil fuel lobby shape the IPCC.
If the influence of the U.S. ff lobby surprises you..
...check out the influence of a thing called U.S. federal government 🤣

@lasch2002 @PaulHBeckwith @EliotJacobson @jim27182 @amywestervelt 6/ Really worth reading in detail. We don't point to this for fun - it's essential knowledge to understand institutional & power dynamics.
Bonus, fantastic Saudi IPCC anecdotes by @LeoHickman

@lasch2002 @PaulHBeckwith @EliotJacobson @jim27182 @amywestervelt @LeoHickman 7/ Saudi Arabia is a good example (@JoannaDepledge 2008). sci-hub.se/10.1162/glep.2…
Analysts must grasp such complexity—else they will see no more than a series of bewildering, frustrating, even cynical decisions. (& their work may be ineffectual)

@lasch2002 @PaulHBeckwith @EliotJacobson @jim27182 @amywestervelt @LeoHickman @JoannaDepledge @sjmmcd 8/ Huge respect for the work of the thousands of IPCC authors & staff volunteering their time to this unique institution. I'm also being told you can still register as AR6 synthesis report expert reviewer if you have time - good critical reviews may help! apps.ipcc.ch/comments/ar6sy…
@lasch2002 @PaulHBeckwith @EliotJacobson @jim27182 @amywestervelt @LeoHickman @JoannaDepledge @sjmmcd 9/ After building up complexity, let me break it down again: if we can't boil down the key IPCC warnings at whatsapp-level, we're not there yet. People genuinely care & want to learn - we just need make it possible.
Ending on a positive note - way to go!~
