In this blog, Bolt bags Rajendra Pachauri, chairman of the IPCC, for making people unnecessarily scared. He also calls for him to be stripped of his Nobel.
Fair enough: Pachari knowingly inserted a false item into the IPCC report - the glacier claim - and presumably should be disciplined for it. Climate science needs to be as scrupulous as possible, and the evidence is so overwhelming that exaggeration's not required.
Bolt's mano-a-mano attack, though, refers to a minute number of claims in a massive report. He is very good at the personal, not so good on the big stuff. This is a good example of Bolt's frequently-used 'part for the whole' tactic: that is, he pretends that a small part of one report stands in for the entire discipline of climate science research. Focusing on a single scientist in this manner is equivalent to using the practices of a single evolutionary biologist to claim that Darwin made the whole thing up.
It takes a bit more than that to crush every single line of evidence for AGW.
