Several prominent scientists have pointed out the [[politicized science]] of the UN's assessment methods. The scientific reports are submitted to a panel of representatives appointed by each country in the IPCC. Several scientists have complained about their work being misrepresented by the U.N.

However, overall the scientific consensus overwhelmingly supports the IPCC reports.[http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/full/306/5702/1686]
