The United Nations’ climate change panel is facing fresh criticism after new research contradicted the organisation’s claims about the devastating effect climate change could have on the Amazon rainforest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A new study, funded by Nasa, has found that the most serious drought in the Amazon for more than a century had little impact on the rainforest’s vegetation. <\/p>\n

The findings appear to disprove claims by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) that up to 40% of the Amazon rainforest could react drastically to even a small reduction in rainfall and could see the trees replaced by tropical grassland. <\/p>\n
