Attacks on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Obscure Real Science
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 has assembled a series of explanatory
backgrounders on specific allegations about the report.
Overall, 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.
The Union of Concerned Scientists is the leading U.S. science-based nonprofit
organization working for a healthy environment and a safer world. Founded in
1969, UCS is headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and also has offices in
Berkeley, Chicago and Washington, D.C.
