Climate in Peril
A popular guide to the latest IPCC reports
Disclaimer: This guide tries to remain faithful to the sense of the work of the IPCC and its Climate Change 2007 Synthesis Report of the Fourth Assess-
ment, while simplifying the language and structure. The full responsibility for the accuracy of the content rests with the editors of this guide. Readers may
remember the IPCC’s helpful warning that “while the Synthesis Report is a largely self-contained document, it needs to be viewed in the context of the other
volumes of Climate Change 2007 and it is recommended that for further details the contributions of the three Working Groups be consulted, published in
the volumes “Climate Change 2007 – The Physical Science Basis”; “Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability” and “Mitigation of Climate Change”, as well as
“Climate Change 2007 Synthesis Report”.
