After more than three decades, six assessment reports, and numerous special reports, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) continues to tell us what we know already: Humanity is changing the Earth's climate rapidly and substantively--and we could stop it if we want to. Do thousands of scientists really need to spend the hundreds of thousands of hours to repeat this same message across reams of reports? Or is it time to say "thank you" in order to shift this effort to original science and actual action? This webinar's panel discusses these questions to tell us "Do we need climate change's IPCC?"
