Climate scientists working through the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) of the United Nations have been centrally involved in global efforts to deal with climate change. The impact of their work has been less than they expected. Multiple, complexly related factors have contributed to its limited impact, but this article will focus on how the IPCC's ontology, epistemology, and practices have contributed to the inability of climate scientists thus far to generate the kinds of policies and actions their work suggests are needed. More specifically, this article looks at philosophical, theoretical, and procedural contributors to that failure, with a focus on dichotomies and the scientists' belief in the political neutrality of their work. Fortunately, their recent work provides some evidence that they are beginning to change in ways that might eventually help their work become more impactful
