## Idea ## Here we list reports on [[global warming]], [[energy]] 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. ## Climate reports ## * IPCC Fourth Assessment Report, _Climate Change 2007_: Working Group I Report, [The Physical Science Basis](http://www.ipcc.ch/publications_and_data/ar4/wg1/en/contents.html).
