According to Nature, the fifth Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report will be out by 2014, IPCC chair Rajendra Pachauri announced last week in Budapest. The report from the first working group will come out in 2013, however, so that its findings can be incorporated more fully into the reports from the second and third working groups.
Of course, by 2014 we will have passed the Hansen/Blair tipping points and there will be no summer sea ice in the Arctic, according to Al Gore.
The IPCC also released the TECHNICAL PAPER ON CLIMATE CHANGE AND WATER in Budapest, 9th - 10th April.
We can also look forward to a special report on renewable energy by 2010.
"They were STUPID books."
I thought he said he agreed with you?
The part I said was settled is settled. There's no question of it. The extent of the warming is not clear, as the IPCC itself clearly says.
Science never stops researching, it never thinks that it has all the answers. If they are doing research because it's their job and they enjoy doing it, including going to conferences, there's not much I can say.
