IPCC New Chair
Oct 8^th, 2015 at 5:37pm

'The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) elected Hoesung Lee of the Republic of Korea as its new Chair on Tuesday.

Hoesung Lee was elected by 78 votes to 56 in a run-off with Jean-Pascal van Ypersele. A total of six candidates had been nominated for the position.

"I am honoured and grateful that the Panel has elected me as the IPCC’s new Chair,” said Hoesung Lee. “The IPCC remains deeply committed to providing policymakers with the highest quality scientific assessment of climate change, but we can do more.”

“The next phase of our work will see us increase our understanding of regional impacts, especially in developing countries, and improve the way we communicate our findings to the public. Above all, we need to provide more information about the options that exist for preventing and adapting to climate change. I look forward to working with my IPCC colleagues to reach these goals and I thank them for their support."

Prof Hoesung Lee is an economist. He also used to work for Exxon Company USA.

He is somehow going to prevent climate change.

Seeing as we haven't quantified AGW; no.

Seeing as AGW was proposed to be outside the bounds of natural variability, the "pause", "hiatus", with increasing CO2, must be outside the bounds of natural variability.

If however, the "pause", "hiatus", is within natural variability; so is any AGW.

63 papers by climate scientists attempting to explain the "pause", "hiatus".

But AGW is supposed to be science based. What would an economist know of climate science?

of course there is this-

'Climate policy has almost nothing to do anymore with environmental protection, says the German economist and IPCC official Ottmar Edenhofer. The next world climate summit in Cancun is actually an economy summit during which the distribution of the world’s resources will be negotiated.'

or Christina Figueres

'"This is probably the most difficult task we have ever given ourselves, which is to intentionally transform the economic development model, for the first time in human history", Ms Figueres stated at a press conference in Brussels.'

One can then see a need for an economist.

was the effect of CFCs on Ozone depletion quantified?

What was the international response in the early 1990s?
