Fifteenth online page shows teacher introducing scientist who studies ocean acidification - she sitting in a kayak with view of sea life - describes who's involved in IPCC Dialogue: Normally, it took years or decades of many different scientists exploring different lines of evidence; all experimenting, testing, publishing in scientific journals, before a theory could be accepted as fact. As I said earlier, the IPCC reports summed up what the science was showing through tens of thousands of published papers. But it took scientists to write the IPCC assessment reports, too. Dr Akvo, can you tell us about that? Hi kids, I’m a scientist who studies the acidity of the oceans because carbon dioxide causing climate change also makes seawater more acidic. Before the IPCC can write a report, the authors have to be chosen. Governments could suggest scientists to be report authors. But observer organizations could also nominate experts. There were more than 100 observer organizations, including business groups and public interest organizations.

Sixteenth online page shows scientist in kayak between climate protesters and oil executives, below school children play at seashore with sea life visible Dialogue YES the two extremes were there. Groups like Greenpeace and Environmental Defense as well as industry representatives like OPEC and the World Coal Institute. They all got to have their say. IPCC authors were chosen from all over the world to represent the whole of humanity… ...for their scientific and technical expertise, but also their gender, country and region of origin. The consequences of climate change applied to everyone! It was important that the IPCC reports reflected the diversity of the world’s peoples. They were also careful to keep inviting new scientists into the process so that it wasn’t the same people writing the reports every time.
