Climate Change 2007
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change

“You should never extrapolate about global warming from your own weather, but it is becoming hard not to - even for professionals.”
Thomas Friedman on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change,
The New York Times (12/2/2007)

“A heightened sense of urgency… in light of a report issued last month by the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which detailed the potentially devastating effects of global warming in the panel’s strongest language yet.”
Peter Gelling and Andrew C. Revkin,
The New York Times (12/3/2007)
