In Their Own Words -
examining the comments of IPCC insiders
.
I write frequently about the climate bible – the massive report produced by the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) every five years or so. The climate bible is supposed to summarize the current state of our knowledge with respect to climate change. It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this document. It is treated as gospel by governments around the world – and is the reason billions are being spent on carbon dioxide emissions reduction.
There have been four editions of the climate bible so far:
- First Assessment Report, 1990 (sometimes called the FAR)
- Second Assessment Report, 1995 (the SAR)
- Third Assessment Report, 2001 (the TAR or AR3)
- Fourth Assessment Report, 2007 (AR4)
The most recent edition is 3,000 pages long. An updated version is currently underway.
