BK....I had a relatively minor role in the IPCC as one of the many authors of a couple of the supporting reports. The IAC actually didn't criticize the findings of the IPCC. They were asked (by the IPCC chair and the Secretary General of the UN) to review the processes and procedures of the IPCC. In their report they had several valid recommendations to improve the management structure and processes of the IPCC, but did not comment on the validity of the conclusion that global warming is occurring and is increased due to human activity. Those conclusions are accepted as valid by an overwhelming majority of the scientists who have knowledge in this area.
