Sleep in, then talk: After the participants in last week’s marathon meeting on the IPCC Synthesis Report caught up on their sleep, we spoke with some of them about the deals, details and background of the document that would otherwise be lost behind the headlines. And we took the current UN Water Conference in New York as an opportunity to talk to an IPCC author about water supply in climate change. The IPCC report, which is, after all, the current scientific state of affairs and has received political approval, will keep us busy for the foreseeable future.
