After a failure to finalise its budget, the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is now in limbo; the budget deal fell apart when a group of fossil fuel producing countries wanted to delay the next tranche of data (due to be delivered in time for next year's COP32).
So now the Fossil Fuel lobby behind these Govt. positions has found the perfect way to slow (even more) action on climate change; de-fang the credible global body producing the data on it.
