What has the UN done in trying to solve problems created by climate change?
The UN's InterGovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) examines data and reports from climate change scientists around the world. It holds regular sessions (April 2016 was its 43rd meeting) and prepares assessments and reports.It is now in its Sixth Assessment Cycle. The Fifth Assessment Cycle produced the following reports:Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science BasisClimate Change 2014: Impacts, Adaptation and VulnerabilityClimate Change 2014: Mitigation of Climate ChangeClimate Change 2014: Synthesis report.Click here for the IPCC website:http://www.ipcc.ch/index.htmHere is a video prepared by the IPCC.
How credible is the IPCC?
They have flip flopped and been caught lying on many issues. The hockey stick graph was the focal point of the first report. It was discovered that the data was just not factual. They made no retraction. Climategate proved that many of the leading experts were lying about data. No retraction was made. The IPCC has very few actual scientists and even fewer climate experts in their working group. The leader is an Economist. Of the 3000 people involved, only fewer than 60 are involved with science at all. There models ignore and negative feed backs of water vapor and have managed to be unable to reproduce the past. (An essential element of the models ability to reliably predict the future). They place 90% realiability on models that are 60% accurate. There projections have continuously been far more extreme when compared with the real weather patterns. They claimed we should see an increase in the size and scope of hurricanes. Level 5 hurricanes are currently lower in number and NASA claims we are seeing a 30 year low in storms. Arctic is is predicted to melt. Since 2007 Arctic summer ice has grown by 26%. The 2007 report claimed a sea level rise of 3 to 5 mm. Less than 1 mm has been seen. Would you trust a group that has no background in the subject and been wrong every time they suggested an event? The IPCC has also been involved in other scandals including: Himalaya-Gate - Alarmist report by the IPCC that the Himalyan glacier will have melted by 2035. As it transpired the report was without any scientific basis. Amazon-Gate - The IPCC claimed that up to 40% of the rain forests in the Amazon were at risk from global warming and would likely be replaced by "tropical savannas" if temperatures continued to rise. The scientific-looking report, on which this claim was based, was a non-peer reviewed article for the WWF, by an Australian policy analyst and a freelance journalist for the Guardian newspaper (not even experts let alone scientists!). But the biggest scandal to date is the IPCC's claim, made in 1995, that it had found "a "discernible human influence" on the earth's changing climate. The claim was inserted by the report's lead author, Ben Santer of the Lawrence Livermore government laboratory, after the IPCC's consulting scientists had agreed a draft that specifically said no such "human fingerprint" had been found. Due to this deliberate reversal of the report's findings, Santer also altered the trajectory of every IPCC document since. He argued that the alteration that it was justified based on two of his own studies, which "cherry-picked" the earth's temperature record from 1963-1987, deliberately ignoring temperatures that didn't confirm the Greenhouse theory. Thus the "discernible human influence" as claimed by the IPCC remains without scientific support to this day.
What does the Fourth Report of the IPCC say about the warming of the planet?
The Fourth Report of the IPCC (The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), Climate Change 2007, said:Cold days, cold nights, and frost events have become less frequent. Hot days, hot nights, and heat waves have become more frequent.Eleven of the twelve years in the period (1995-2006) rank among the top 12 warmest years in the instrumental record (since 1880).
What does the Fourth Report of the IPCC say about average Northern Hemisphere temperatures?
The Fourth Report of the IPCC (The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change), Climate Change 2007, said:Average Northern Hemisphere temperatures during the second half of the 20th century were very likely higher than during any other 50-year period in the last 500 years and likely the highest in at least the past 1300 years (including both theMedieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age).
What evidence tells geologist Robert Fronk that sea level was once much lower than it is now?
That work out to one meter in 2000 years much lower than the IPCC projections. This is Bryan an i am 12!!

What scandals has the IPCC been part of?
The IPCC has also been involved in a number of scandals including: Climate-Gate - e-mails obtained from the Climate Research Unit at the University of East Anglia suggested that facts inconvenient to the global warming case were being deliberately hidden/obscured. Himalaya-Gate - Alarmist report by the IPCC that the Himalyan glacier will have melted by 2035. As it transpired the report was without any scientific basis. Amazon-Gate - The IPCC claimed that up to 40% of the rain forests in the Amazon were at risk from global warming and would likely be replaced by "tropical savannas" if temperatures continued to rise. The scientific-looking report, on which this claim was based, was a non-peer reviewed article for the WWF, by an Australian policy analyst and a freelance journalist for the Guardian newspaper (not even experts let alone scientists!).

How much funding does the IPCC receive from the federal government?
According to Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (R-MO), the US currently funds the IPCC to the tune of $12.5 million a year (increasing to $13 million in 2012), although this figure is disputed by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-California) claiming that the IPCC receives $2.3 million in federal funding. However this may be a moot point as, following debate the House of Representatives, on Saturday 19 February 2011, voted 244 to 179 to eliminate funding for the United Nations IPCC.
