“Classically trained journalist” Monckton or the vast majority of other ‘experts’ with degrees & higher degrees in Physics, Mathematics and any other science allied to Climatology.

It particularly riles me when people make statements in the press and use long job descriptions and accreditations and then fail to back the statement up with any form of reason. Someone who knows something about a subject will normally be able to judge by what that person is saying. I often find myself reading things on the Internet and on forums about computer programming and thinking that the person in question really has a deep understanding of the subject, and only afterwards discovering they are some top professor or whatever. The really clever ones don't need the badges and they don't sit in ivory towers, they engage freely with others who can cope with the pace on open forums and so on. I really don't think the IPCC is open in this way; it's too much behind closed doors. Science traditionally has been like open source programming, anyone is welcome to take a peak and add their bit or correct a problem or two.
