Responses to media reports on the IPCC from the SENSE Research School

Posted by: Ad van Dommelen on February 8, 2010 05:00:52 PM +01:00

In the past weeks, some errors in the reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change have found wide attention in the media. These errors are unfortunate and require correction, as is common in the scientific process.
