Roger Pielke Jr left this comment in the thread below one of his own posts. I have taken the liberty of reproducing it in full.
Over at Real Climate, Kerry Emanuel of MIT, has a post up with his views on tropical cyclones and climate change. Emanuel doesn't cite the IPCC, but what he reports is pretty much consistent with the AR5 (trends inconclusive, expected changes in the future, etc.).
Here I am not discussing the science presented by Kerry, but instead, I note this passage:
"When a 100-year event becomes a 50-year event, it may take a few destructive hits before we adapt to the new reality. This is of particular concern with tropical cyclones, where the application of existing damage models to projected changes in tropical cyclone activity predict large increases in damage, as documented, for example, in the recent Risky Business report commissioned by Michael Bloomberg, Hank Paulson, and Thomas Steyer."
What Emanuel does not say is that he was in fact the one commissioned by Steyer et al. to produce the scary scenarios in the report (which are completely at odds with IPCC AR5 and KE's own published academic work - I've explored this is some detail).
Thus, Emanuel is (a) self-citing in stealth fashion, and (b) failing to disclose a big COI.
Two big non-nos in science, but which in the climate world get a free pass if you are perceived to be on the "right side." Another day in climate science.
