NON-PEER-REVIEWED SOURCES IN IPCC REPORTS

*
Color us purple, but it appears some skeptics are already passed "coming to conclusions". Perhaps, an intelligent concerned citizen should make the intellectually honest effort to familiarize self with the applicable standards, before inserting entirely the foot de jour.

PROCEDURES FOR THE PREPARATION, REVIEW, ACCEPTANCE, ADOPTION, APPROVAL AND PUBLICATION OF IPCC REPORTS

ANNEX 2: PROCEDURE FOR USING NON-PUBLISHED/NON-PEER-REVIEWED SOURCES IN IPCC REPORTS
Because it is increasingly apparent that materials relevant to IPCC Reports, in particular, information about the experience and practice of the private sector in mitigation and adaptation activities, are found in sources that have not been published or peer-reviewed (e.g., industry journals, internal organisational publications, non-peer reviewed reports or working papers of research institutions, proceedings of workshops etc) the following additional procedures are provided. These have been designed to make all references used in IPCC Reports easily accessible and to ensure that the IPCC process remains open and transparent.
So much for false claims of no transparency.
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour. Exodus 20:16
