Oct 16 (Reuters) – A meeting of the members of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was suspended without an agreement on a timeline to publish its next review of the latest science on the warming planet, the IPCC said on Friday.
The impasse over the timeline, which has lasted nearly three years, could leave countries to decide the next phase of climate action without consensus on critical issues, including the extent to which some global warming might be reversible.
