The article makes a newbie mistake: the job of the IPCC is not now, if it ever was, scientific. It is political.
Scientifically climate change has been a growing concern since at least 1972. In 1990 there was zero support politically for the sort of action that is now starting.
The IPCC's work still matters, the political changes are not bedded in ( see the GOP in USA that is still clinging to its old ideas, but not for much longer). But the urgent, political work it was established for is almost done.
They can take some credit if we save the world
