Abstract

An outline is given of the IPCC and its role in helping to lay out options and consequences of actions or lack thereof related to anthropogenic climate change. A description is provided of how the IPCC is set up and functions, the scientific assessment process, who participates, and the intergovernmental linkages, all of which lead to the IPCC reports every 5-7 years. The procedures are designed to provide policy relevant but not policy prescriptive scientific advice to policy makers and the public. The main findings are briefly described along with the recent controversy involving IPCC.
