In view of the poor performance of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, U. N. is planning to appoint the world's top climate science panel to review its work.

IPCC has been facing huge criticism since it was revealed that one of its 2007 reports had wrongly predicted that Himalayan glaciers could vanish by 2035. The figure was supposed to be 2350.

However, U. N. agrees that a number of fundamental claims made by IPCC, hold absolutely true.

"It will be senior scientific figures. I can't name who they are right now. It should do a review of the IPCC, produce a report by, say, August and there is a plenary of the IPCC in South Korea in October", said Nick Nuttall, Spokesman for the United Nations Environment Program.

"The report will go there for adoption. Here's no review panel at the moment. Yesterday, it was clear from the member states roughly how they would like this panel to be, i. e. fully independent and not appointed by the IPCC but appointed by an independent group of scientists themselves", he added.

He also said that the review of IPCC would analyze that whether there should be a ban on it for using "grey literature", which is a term used to explain on non-peer reviewed science.

Achim Steiner, Executive Director of UNEP, shared that he is not in support of the ban being imposed over the usage of the grey literature.
