Abstract: The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was set up jointly by the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme to provide an authoritative international statement of scientific understanding of climate change. The IPCC’s periodic assessments of the causes, impacts and possible response strategies to climate change are the most comprehensive and up-to-date reports available on the subject, and form the standard reference for all concerned with climate change in academia, government and industry worldwide. Through three working groups, many hundreds of international experts assess climate change in this Fourth Assessment Report.

A comparative analysis of the greenhouse gas emissions intensity of wheat and beef in the United States
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used lifecycle assessment (LCA) to estimate the magnitude of CO2e emissions from typical US food production practices, using wheat and beef as examples, and quantified the cost of those emissions in the context of a GHG-pricing regime over a range of policy constructs.
Farmers’ vulnerability to global change in Navarre, Spain: large-scale irrigation as maladaptation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigate farmers' vulnerability to climate-related stressors and crop price volatility in rural Navarre, Spain, and argue that the irrigation project has increased the short-term adaptive capacity of irrigation adopters while establishing the institutional conditions for the displacement of small-scale farming.

TL;DR: In this article, a model for computing monthly mass balances of glaciers on the global scale was forced with nine different data sets of near-surface air temperature and precipitation anomalies, as well as with their mean and median, leading to a total of 11 different forcing data sets.
