5 things to watch for in the latest IPCC report on climate science: Over the past eight years, climate scientists have improved the
methods they use to measure different aspects of climate and to model
(or project) what might happen in the future. They’ve also been
monitoring the changes that have developed right before our eyes.
This updated assessment comes three months before world leaders
gather in Glasgow, Scotland, to find ways to avoid the worst effects of
climate change and renew their commitments to reduce greenhouse gases.
It also comes amid another year of severe heat waves, droughts, wildfires, flooding and storms.
The report will provide policy-makers with the best possible
information regarding the physical science of climate change, which is
essential for long-term planning in many sectors, from infrastructure to
energy to social welfare. Here are five things to look for in the new
report:
