The scientific findings have been solid (except for a obviously wild prediction that Himalayan glaciers will be gone in 2035, which needed to be withdrawn). But the longstanding Chairman (Rajendra Pachauri), defensiveness (he was installed in 1988) and the IPCC's inability to use modern scientific communication and review procedures have been embarrassing.
