IPCC reports are a climate science beacon. So why do these scientists say they have to stop?

"In 1990, scientists from around the world published a report that spelled out
that the climate was changing and that we — human beings — were the cause.

If we continued polluting, with business as usual …

"Emissions of greenhouse gases … will result in a likely increase in global
mean temperature of about 1 degree Celsius above the present value by 2025,
and 3C before the end of the next century. The rise will not be steady."

We hit 1 degree Celsius above pre-industrial levels in 2017, and 3C is still on
the cards for this century, depending on our emissions pathways.

This was the first of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
reports, with the sixth series of reports coming out this year.

But while the IPCC continues to provide the most comprehensive climate data and
forecasts, some scientists are refusing to take part in future assessments.

And they're calling on their colleagues to do the same. Why?"
