UN Climate Report used Greenpeace and 'Renewables' trade group in making latest 'scientific' prediction

EREC is a business trade organization involved in UN Climate "science" and policy. It's conveniently located near the EU in Brussels.

6/20/11, "Blogs busting open AGW 'science' frauds," American Thinker, Jerry Shenk

"The International Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) accepted a report from a "joint publication of Greenpeace and the European Renewable Energy Council (EREC)" which claimed that "close to 80% of the world's energy supply could be met by renewables by mid-century if backed by the right enabling public policies." The Greenpeace contributor to the report "peer-reviewed" his own piece, a practice

• apparently acceptable to the IPCC.

Got that? In the climate-change industry, interested parties which stand to gain financially from preferred policies are allowed to write the justifications, do the peer-reviews and then

• write the policies."...
