The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC, is a United Nations body created in 1988 to periodically review and summarize what the scientific community knows about climate change, its causes, and potential responses.
It does not run its own experiments; instead, it assesses thousands of published studies and produces large assessment reports that then feed into international negotiations and national policies.
Those big assessment reports are organized into working groups, each focusing on different parts of the problem. One group looks at the physical climate system (temperatures, sea level, ice, etc.), another examines impacts and vulnerabilities, and a third evaluates mitigation options such as emissions reductions and technologies.
For years, those assessments pushed “Shared Socioeconomic Pathways” (SSPs) and “Representative Concentration Pathways” (RCPs) scenarios that were portents of dire futures. The elite media would then take those doomsday scenarios and publish climate hysteria, which in turn led to United Nations demands for NGO monies to be spent on control, studies, and more bureaucrats.
