What causes IPCC climate change?
Externally forced climate variations may be due to changes in natural forcing factors, such as solar radiation or volcanic aerosols, or to changes in anthro- pogenic forcing factors, such as increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases or sulphate aerosols.
Is the IPCC credible?
The IPCC’s technical reports derive their credibility principally from an extensive, transparent, and iterative peer review process that, as mentioned above, is considered far more exhaustive than that associated with a single peer-reviewed publication in a scientific journal.
What does the IPCC do?
The IPCC was created to provide policymakers with regular scientific assessments on climate change, its implications and potential future risks, as well as to put forward adaptation and mitigation options. Through its assessments, the IPCC determines the state of knowledge on climate change.
What will happen to Australia with climate change?

What does the new IPCC report mean?
climate change
