In the Climate CoLab , you can
work with people from all over the world to create proposals for what to do about climate change.

What other online community collaborations are available?

Here’s an example of one other, though it’s closed now as it’s mission was accomplished.

Citizens Audit the UN’s Climate Report

Does the 2007 report by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) meet its own standards? Is there a
discrepancy between what we’ve been told and reality? Has the IPCC chairman misled us? Have news reports misinformed us?

There are compelling reasons to suspect that this is the case. We, the public, have been advised repeatedly that when the IPCC writes its
reports it relies solely on peer-reviewed scientific literature. But an examination of two random chapters has revealed that as few as 25 percent
of the listed references were peer-reviewed.

NOconsensus.org has called for volunteers to assist in examining the remainder of this mammoth report, which is often referred to as the
climate bible. The goal is for the findings of this crowdsourcing project to be published on this page in early April 2010.

The individuals listed below are part of the team currently conducting a citizen’s audit of all 44 IPCC chapters.

Citizen Audit Main Findings
released April 14, 2010

UN’s Climate Bible Gets 21 ‘F’s on Report Card

 all 18,531 references cited in the 2007 IPCC report were examined

 5,587are not peer-reviewed

IPCC chairman’s claim that the report relies solely on peer-reviewed sources is not supported

 each chapter was audited three times; the result most favorable to the IPCC was used

 21 out of 44 chapters contain so few peer-reviewed references, they get an F

 43 citizen auditors in 12 countries participated in this project

 full report card here

 detailed results here
