Here we list reports on global warming and related issues. Some of these have links to summaries and critiques here on the Azimuth Project. Later we will write comparisons of these reports and assessments, highlighting areas of agreement and disagreement.
Also see Plans of action. Roughly, ‘reports’ analyze problems while ‘plans of action’ propose solutions.
