Former Vice President Al Gore is getting lots of attention as this year's Nobel Peace Prize winner. But along with him are hundreds of scientists who've been participating in the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, or IPCC. Since 1988, the scientists have been assessing we know as climate change and its impact. Linda Mearns is one of the lead authors in recent IPCC reports. She speaks with Weekend America host Bill Radke about sharing the Nobel Peace Prize with Al Gore and hundreds of others.
