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.

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!). 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 level of government deals with climate change?

The Environmental Protection Agency, or EPA is one of the main federal agencies that tracks climate change. This organization works with other agencies as well such as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC.


What does the ipcc do?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assesses scientific information related to climate change, its impacts, and potential adaptation and mitigation strategies. Established by the United Nations, it compiles and synthesizes research from scientists around the world to provide policymakers with comprehensive reports. These assessments inform international climate negotiations and help governments develop effective climate policies. The IPCC does not conduct its own research but evaluates existing studies to ensure a balanced and objective understanding of climate science.

His documentary "An Inconvenient Truth" further popularized the findings of the IPCC.

What are the findings of the ipcc?

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) finds that human activities are the primary driver of global warming, leading to unprecedented levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. The IPCC also warns that urgent action is needed to reduce emissions and limit the impacts of climate change such as rising temperatures, sea level rise, and extreme weather events.
