Authors

Abstract
This document attempts to present, in the simplest manner possible, the fundamental, high-level findings of climate science that are most relevant to the international climate change negotiations. For a comprehensive summary of climate science, see the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) at <ipcc.ch/report/ar5/>; the FAQs are particularly helpful and easy to read. For something in between, try the IPCC’s Synthesis Report <http://ar5-syr.ipcc.ch/> or the four Summaries for Policy Makers.
