Are the UN’s IPCC climate reports scientifically objective?

The UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) publish very influential “Assessment Reports” on climate change science every 6-7 years. These reports are widely-assumed by many to represent a comprehensive and scientifically objective review of all the key relevant scientific studies and findings. But, is this true?Show more

Dr. Soon is one of the many climate scientists whose work was reviewed by the IPCC’s latest 6th Assessment Report (AR6, 2021). Here, he discusses whether they did a good job in describing his scientific findings. He is unimpressed.

Clip taken from Dr. Willie Soon’s April 11, 2022 talk at Hillsdale College in D.C., “The Weaponization of Science: Politics, Vilification, and the Climate Debate”.
