Subsequent reports have actually backpedaled slightly from the claims made in the 1993 and 1996 reports, but are still authored according to the wishes of policy makers (who write the checks for grants and other research).
What this has to do with Obama is the simple fact that Peace Prize winners are chosen primarily for their politics, which the Nobel committee seems to think is more important than doing genuine good.

So IPCC reports changing from 1993 and 1996 to 2007 has something to do with Pres. Obama's selection? I don't get the connection, but it doesn't really matter.
Nobel
Peace Prize winners are chosen based on their politics?
Shocking.
