Currently in Paris, France, hundreds of Scientists are approving the IPCC report from Working Group 1 “The Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis” (chapters outline) in closed-door sessions. They finish 1st February 2007 and next day the release is planned.
Upcoming reports this year cover ‘Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability‘ and ‘Mitigation of Climate Change‘. The final part, a synthesis of all three parts for policy-makers, is expected in November.
The IPCC report will not outline measures to tackle global warming. Instead, it will concentrate on the latest evidence that the phenomenon is underway. The publication sets a milestone in fighting Global Warming, all included points are no longer matter of discussions and it provides the substantiated state of knowledge for decision-maker.
LAlliance pour la Planète values highly this moment and calls for action. Simply stop using energy between 19:55 and 20:00 MEZ - switch off lights!. Main purpose is not to save power rather than showing your interests. The signal is well recognizable and measurable.
