"The findings were released in Kampala, Uganda, by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a high-profile United Nations body assigned to review and report periodically on developments in climate research. The group won the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore in 2007 but later became a target of controversy related to minor factual errors in a large report that it had issued that year. It has tightened its procedures in the hope of preventing future errors. "
