the IPCC is the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (http://www.ipcc.ch/), which is the research group responsible for almost all research promoting human induced climate change. Pretty much everything you read in the news probably originates from the IPCC or is related in some fashion.
The IPCC has released 4 assessment reports, the most recent one being in 2007, which each include the widely publicized Summary for Policy makers. What you must understand however is that the actual assessment reports are written by scientists, however the summary for policy makers is written by beaurocrats and only signed off by certain scientists.
The majority of people never see the actual report and the information is not always accurately summarized. For example, there was a rather large outcry when the summary released in the 3rd assessment was changed to make the predictions more dire than the actual report could support.
