UN Review of Climate Change Panel

UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has asked the world's science academies to review work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). This follows on from the admission that there were factual errors in the latest report. However, the investigation will only look at the IPCC's procedures to ensure greater transparency in the future. Ban Ki-moon believe that the consensus is clear in indicating climate change is man made, but that more openness in the future would be beneficial! There will be no independent analysis of the data and assumptions used to come to this conclusion!
