I’ve posted on several occasions before on sloppy science related to climate change — see here and here, for example — so I was glad to see that an independent review has suggested changes in how the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change operates. The proposals are designed to avoid politicizing science issues and making the body more transparent, although it remains to be seen whether changes actually are implemented.
The crucial point, I think, is to return scientists to their role as objective evaluators who develop theories and then carefully test their hypotheses. When scientists pursue a political agenda, rather than simply trying to uncover the truth, the science obviously suffers.
