Over the last few months, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has been attacked for minor errors in its sprawling 2007 report on climate change.
To set the record straight and provide appropriate scientific context, the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) has assembled a series of explanatory backgrounders on specific allegations about the report.
Overall, the UCS says the IPCC’s conclusions remain indisputable: Climate change is happening now and human activity is causing it. Nations around the world will have to adapt to at least some climate change, including sea level rise, changes in precipitation, disruptions to agriculture, and species extinctions. But if we dramatically reduce our emissions, we can prevent the worst effects of climate change.
