A prominent scientist has joined sceptics in calling for the UN
authority on climate change to be reformed, as yet more flaws are
exposed in the International Panel on Climate Change's reports.

The Telegraph newspaper in Britain reports that several of the claims
made by the IPCC are based on information from masters students or from
environmental or business lobby groups.

While climate scientists say these flaws do not undermine the core
argument about global warming, some, including Australian scientist Dr
Bob Carter, are now calling for changes in the international climate
change body.


Dr Carter, a marine biologist from James Cook University, says the IPCC
has been involved in a string of scandals.

"They are all of the same sort, but the science they are doing is not
high class or they are trying to manipulate the refereeing procedure,"
Dr Carter said.

"In some cases, they alter reports after the scientists have signed off
on them.
