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.
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 two conclusions has the IPCC made about global climate change?
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, are the primary drivers of global climate change, leading to significant increases in greenhouse gas concentrations. Additionally, the IPCC indicates that climate change is causing widespread impacts, including rising global temperatures, more frequent and severe weather events, and disruptions to ecosystems and human societies, necessitating urgent and coordinated action to mitigate its effects.
Has the IPCC been wrong before?
Unfortunately the IPCC's record is far from good when it comes to getting things right.The most notable case was the so-called Himalaya-Gate affair, when the organisation released an alarmist report in 2007, claiming that the Himalyan glacier will have melted by 2035. As it transpired the report was without any scientific basis and was based on a report an IPCC employee ("expert reviewer" Murari Lal) had read in the New Scientist magazine. The New Scientist article itself was drawn up from a short telephone call with an obscure Indian scientist called Syed Hasnain, who it transpired had absolutely no scientific evidence to support his claim.The report (printed in 1999) had gone unnoticed until 2005, when without the necessary scrutiny, it was used by the WWF as a campigning tool to prove that glaciers were melting. It was then picked up without any scrutiny or peer review by Lal and the IPCC as they prepared their 2007 report.Another faux-pas of the IPCC was Amazon-Gate when 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!).The IPCC was forced to withdraw it's 2007 prediction that sea levels would rise by 18-59 cm over the course of this century due to "two technical errors" in it's calculations.
What is IPCC in relation to global warming?
IPCC stands for the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is an organization set up by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) and the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in 1988. Its aims are to assess the impacts of human-induced climate change and report the impacts and possible adaptation and mitigation.The IPCC, which is made up of many scientists (152) who are in the climate-related fields, and who perform their work on a voluntary basis, does not conduct any research itself. It makes periodical assessments based on all the available information, i.e., mostly peer-reviewed, scientific studies, papers and research published to that date by world-wide scientists in the climate-related fields (e.g., climatologists, biologists, paleo-climatologists, oceanographers, physicists, etc.).The latest IPCC assessment, from 2007 (sometimes referred to as the Fourth Assessment), was written by 620 authors and editors from 40 countries. The Panel's next assessment is due in 2014.

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.
