Seventh online page shows the teacher describing how growing sophistication at the IPCC made each subsequent report more comprehensive but also the time between publications grew. Dialogue: IPCC scientists then needed to prove that the changing climate wasn’t natural, that it was because of human activity As they wrote their second, third, and fourth assessment reports etc. the IPCC included more and more experts from different disciplines. Instead of taking two years, reports were taking four years, six years, eight years to prepare. That’s because the more the IPCC studied climate change, the more they realized it could affect the economy, our health, farming and more. Indigenous experts with traditional knowledge needed to be included. More and more, the social sciences required consideration. Scientists and experts from so many disciplines needed to be included.

Dialogue: Even though real action was slow in coming, the world was starting to recognize how important the IPCC’s work was. The IPCC even won the Nobel Prize. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We’re going to learn about how the IPCC worked. The IPCC’s work was to assess the state of scientific understanding. It wasn’t a group that did primary research itself.

Ninth online page of the graphic novel book Because IPCC shows scientists at work in many disciplines as projected above the classroom. Dialogue: Instead, it gathered, analyzed and summarized tens of thousands of research papers published in scientific journals - the sum of human knowledge - about our climate, how it was changing, the effects those changes would have, and how to avoid them. These papers each represented years or even decades of work by scientists, using something called the scientific method.
