The first report to be released by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 5th Assessment was released on Sept. 27, 2013. The Working Group 1 report, entitled “The Physical Science Basis,” covers what we know about how the Earth’s climate is changing and why, as well as what climate change is likely in the future, depending on the levels of greenhouse gases emitted by humans over the next century and beyond. A panel of UA climate science experts was assembled to comment on the report and to field questions.
