IPCC Begins Marathon Meeting on New Climate Science Report – The Energy Mix: “Over the next two weeks, the scientists will go through their
findings line by line with representatives of 195 governments,” the BBC reports.
“It is expected that the short, 40-page Summary for Policymakers will
play an important role in guiding global leaders who will come to
Glasgow in November to deal with critical climate questions.”

While the IPCC process gives countries the opportunity to spin the Summary for Policymakers, and they often do, it does not permit them to alter the underlying science.

That summary, due for release August 9, is expected to be a “wake-up
call” for governments, experts say, not unlike another recent IPCC
production—its landmark, October 2018 report on how to hold average global warming to 1.5°C.
