By the way, Joerg. I have mentioned this before, but I want to point
you to http://www.gcrio.org. In particular, ask them for free copies
(shipping is also free) of:

IPCC, CLIMATE CHANGE 2007, The Physical Science Basis, WG I
IPCC, CLIMATE CHANGE 2007, Mitigation of Climate Change, WG III
IPCC, CLIMATE CHANGE 2007, Synthesis Report

There is other material at the site that you can also ask for. It is
all free, including the shipping. Takes a week or so, though. Anyway,
the first one is probably the most important to read. It's not the
full WG I report (that will cost you money) but it is a reduced
version that includes the summary for policymakers, the technical
summary, and frequently asked questions -- which is enough to get
started on.


You can get their reports also online. Saves mail transport, diesel, kerosine, trees and thus CO2 :-)

http://www.ipcc.ch/

For example, the summary for policy makers would be here:
http://www.ipcc.ch/pdf/assessment-report/ar4/wg1/ar4-wg1-spm.pdf

If anyone else wants to download make sure you are on a broadband connection. These files are huge, several MB each.
