Default BBC - Scientists to review climate body

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has asked the world's science
academies to review work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change (IPCC).

Work will be co-ordinated by the Inter-Academy Council, which brings
together bodies such as the UK's Royal Society.

The IPCC has been under pressure over small errors in its last major
assessment of climate science in 2007.

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes? (Juvenal IIRC**)

comes to mind.

** Actually, thought that I'd better look it up. Answers.com says:

'Juvenal (died c. 127), or Decimus Junius Juvenalis, was the greatest
of the Roman satirists. His bitter and rhetorical denunciations of
Roman society, presented in a series of vivid pictures of Roman life,
inspired all later satirists.'

Me too neither. I thought it was bad enough them using BBC scientists
but UN ones.

Good grief!
