The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has begun issuing summary reports for policymakers. Working Group One deals with the physical basis of climate change. The group placed the most recent report on Feb 5, 2007. The report can be viewed here as a PDF document.

The report is only 18 pages, relatively easy to read with a general science background, and puts actual percentages of certainty to the “likelihood” of certain phenomena and their attribution. Although not specifically noted, the models did include sporadic major greenhouse gas releases such as volcanic activity.

Please read it and discuss the impact of this consensus on the development of environmental technology and energy management. Assuming a strong possibility that the results and predictions are reasonable guidelines for chiefs of business and policymakeres, what do you think is meant by either of these two terms for our future economies?
