> That’s approximately half correct. To get a balanced picture, one must spend an equivalent amount of time following links from places such as www.climatedepot.com <http://www.climatedepot.com/> and www.climate-skeptic.com <http://www.climate-skeptic.com/>, and be sure to check your ad hominem at the door. We need to read the science, compare the realities to the predictions, and quit comforting ourselves with popularity contests.

> 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:
