No Cover Charge? Great!

I think it's possible to make the point that the UN climate review process is exactly the same as what Feynman saw during his attempt to help choose science textbooks in California.

Surely You're Joking.

Feynman was asked to help review new textbooks, he took this task seriously and read each book making comments along the way. When it came time to discuss the books he was puzzled as to why everyone else gave high marks to a book he had no rating for.

The answer is quite interesting. The commitee gave high marks to a textbook that was blank, empty, it had not been finished yet.
