> The go-to document -- out of the myriad books and papers and reports

> Fifth Assessment Report, which may be found here:

> 	https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/index.shtml
> 
> There are four sections:
> 
> 	- The Physical Science Basis (what's happening)
> 	- Impacts, Adaptation, and Vulnerability (what the effects are)
> 	- Mitigation (what we can do about it)
> 	- Synthesis (the big picture)
> 
> The first one, The Physical Science Basis, underpins the others.
> It's the synthesis of the work of thousands of the world's climate
> scientists and the product of exhaustive reviews of the available
> research.  It's lengthy (1552 pages in a 375M PDF) it's painstakingly
> complete, and it's heavily supported and sourced.  It was created by 209
> coordinating and lead authors, plus another 600 contributing authors,
> using -- among other things -- 54,677 written review comments from 1,089
> expert reviewers and 38 governments.
> 
> So this is pretty much THE document that you need to read and understand
> if you want to know what the world's climatology community thinks is
> going on with the planet.  It's here:
