How serious are the damages associated with global warming?

摘要

As one of the 900 or so scientists who contributed to the IPCC Second Assessment Report, 1995, I welcome this opportunity to react to the com- ments of the distinguished former Chairman of the IPCC. I, personally, Contributed to two chapters and was the reviewer of three more. However, although a participant, I have found myself increasingly uneasy when Hearing, time and time again, that the report was the consensus of the 900 Or so scientists. From my perspective there was no such consensus nor was There any serious attempt to pool the some 900 contributors, contributing Authors, and reviewers, to see if a consensus was possible.
