Summary

The IPCC is experiencing normal scientific debate and recent scrutiny over the plausibility of the extreme RCP 8.5 scenario, but it remains active, producing assessment reports and retaining credibility among major scientific and governmental institutions. There is no evidence that the panel has collapsed or become dysfunctional; the assertion that it “falls apart” overstates the current situation.

  • Fact-checking Trump’s false claims about the IPCC and ‘RCP8.5’ climate scenario - resilience

    The Daily Caller, a pro-Trump conspiratorial US outlet, adds its own falsehoods stating that “IPCC researchers revised their modelling approach last month, swapping the extreme pathway for seven alternative scenarios”. The climate-sceptic Australian claimed that scientists had “quietly scrapped the apocalyptic forecasts that have terrified policymakers and the public”. With Fox News also covering Trump’s comments, along with an earlier article by the Times, much of the reporting around RCP8.5 in recent days has been driven by media controlled by the climate-sceptic mogul Rupert Murdoch.
