Twenty-second online page shows scientist in a small plane over a stormy earth distributing draft reports while IPCC discussions take place below. Dialogue: But it wasn’t over yet. There were these big plenaries - meetings that went on for days, often all night. With both scientists and governments in the room we’d go over the Summary for Policy Makers line-by-line and word-by-word. Boy, there were debates; heated debates. Remember, those governments included countries whose entire economies were based on selling oil, coal and gas; plus countries on small islands that would soon disappear under the waves of the rising oceans. They all really cared. Plus they were conferring with the observer groups who also cared.
