"....a paragraph in the 938-page Working Group II contribution to the
underlying assessment2 refers to poorly substantiated estimates of
rate of recession and date for the disappearance of Himalayan
glaciers. In drafting the paragraph in question, the clear and
well-established standards of evidence, required by the IPCC
procedures, were not applied properly...."


One paragraph wrong in a 938-page document doesn't sound like a major
issue.

And remember that IPCC documents are publically available, so any
errors are likely to be pointed out sooner or later by someone with
relevant knowledge.
