This article began as a straightforward review of what I believe to be the most important climate change document the public should read in 2021 – the August 2021 Summary for Policymakers that prefaced the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). It’s become more than that and is now a reflection on the climate change analysis and policy making we’ve seen in the last half of this year. The reflection begins with the Summary’s release in August and ends with the Glasgow Climate Pact. This was the agreement reached at the conclusion of the 26th conference of the parties (COP) that signed the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) more than a generation ago, in 1992.
