You have to understand that while the UN established the IPCC, the reports come from 1000s of scientists around the world, who are not getting paid to do that work. Most of the studies on which those reports are based are either from universities or gov institutes, and the studies were mainly funded by gov grants, which do not have agenda to sway public opinion one way or the other, but let the facts “chips” fall where they may. Here is a link to the IPCC reports (which are based on many 1000s of scientific studies and comprising 1000s of pages):

This is unlike Heartland, Exxon, and the Koch bros (and their orgs) who are specifically funding people (most of them NOT climate scientists) to create misinformation about AGW with the express purpose to deceiving a gullible public that perhaps wants the wool pulled over its eyes bec they don’t want to take responsibility for AGW.
As the Bible says, be as shrewd as serpents and gentle as doves, and as the US bishops say prudence requires that we mitigate AGW.
I don’t know why people here hate the UN so much. It is a good institution. Perhaps the world governments that compose it have not given it much “teeth” to bring about world peace, end conflict, and bring economic uplift for the poor, but it does very good work in its efforts to do these. If anything I imagine it is underfunded and could do a lot more good with more funding.
And this is even if people may take issue with some of its policies, such as re family planning, etc. Even the Vatican works with the UN to express our Catholic perspective and greatly applauds the humanitarian works the UN does.
