BBC : In August the InterAcademy Council, an umbrella organization comprising the national science academies of 15 nations, issued a report calling for reforms at the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Now, as the BBC’s Richard Black reports, the IPCC has issued a response at its meeting in Busan, South Korea. The panel will adopt recommended reforms on dealing with uncertainty in data, but will hand over consideration of other reforms, notably of IPCC management, to internal committees. Also at the Busan meeting, the panel’s chair Rajendra Pachauri announced his intention to stay in his post through 2014, when the next IPCC report is due.
