It is therefore probably the most influential scientific body in the world.Yet the surprising story of how it came to prominence is little known. Its origins can be traced back to earlier scares over the effects of supersonic transportation and ozone layer depletion, which taught political elites that science-based scares could be powerful drivers of policy action. It was as an authority fit to deliver the required evidence on climate change that the IPCC came into being. However, in the rush towards a climate treaty, IPCC scientists continued to report that evidence of manmade climate change should not be expected for decades. Without a 'catastrophe signal' that could justify a policy response, the panel faced its imminent demise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Bernie Lewin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0993118992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780993118999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Gwpf Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/21\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 386\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.13lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Bernie Lewin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43988357284095,"sku":"9780993118999","price":16.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d7de239f-9eeb-4577-b84b-f125d485541e.jpg?v=1683294090","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/searching-for-the-catastrophe-signal-bernie-lewin-9780993118999","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
