Summary

This Working Group I contribution to the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report provides a comprehensive assessment of the physical science of climate change and continues to broaden the view of that science, following on from previous Working Group I assessments. The results presented are based on the extensive scientific literature that has become available since completion of the IPCC's Third Assessment Report, together with expanded data sets, new analyses, and more sophisticated climate modelling capabilities. Drafts prepared by the authors were subject to two rounds of review and revision during which over 30,000 written comments were submitted by over 650 individual experts as well as by governments and international organizations. Extract from the table of contents: historical overview of climate changes science; changes in atmospheric constituents and radiative forcing; observations: changes in snow, ice and frozen ground; climate models and their evaluation; understanding and attributing climate change; global and regional climate projections. The full report as well as the summary report can be assessed via the Web site: www.ipcc.ch.
