The "risk of human-induced climate change" was already well known when the IPCC was founded and there has been a strong consensus about it among climate scientists at least since the Charney Report of 1979. That consensus is now overwhelming.

The extensive peer reviewed literature on the subject concludes that the sun is not responsible for the recent climate change.

Your conspiracy theory is simply not credible given the vast number of people who would have to be involved, not just in the IPCC but in the climate science community as a whole as well as the scientists who measure solar activity.
