Twentieth online page shows physician explaining that IPCC scientists are volunteers then teacher  introducing the "summary for policymakers" concept
Dialogue:
But do you authors get together?
Oh, yea, looong meetings, combing through and debating every detail.
So this is like an uber peer review of scientific knowledge that’s mostly already peer reviewed and even stood the test of time with citations and all that?
Yup.
How much do you get paid for this?
What? No! IPCC scientists are volunteers.
Volunteers!
Well thank you.
Thanks to all of you IPCC scientists.
With all that feedback the authors could write the final report.
But a big, fat, densely written scientific report didn’t meet the need.
The whole point of the IPCC was to deliver scientific information that governments could use to govern better; to avoid the climate crisis.
