“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert”. – J Robert Oppenheimer.
I am not suggesting that Brian Cox is suspect, rather that the IPCC is not itself subject to scrutiny by oversight. Therefore, it is up to the community of scientist and public at large to scrutinise and criticise.
