The IPCC Third Assessment Report, ''Climate Change 2001'', is an assessment of available scientific and socio-economic information on climate change by the IPCC. The IPCC was established in 1988 by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the UN's World Meteorological Organization (WMO) "... to assess scientific, technical and socio-economic information relevant for the understanding of climate change, its potential impacts and options for adaptation and mitigation."[(IPCC website )] The Third Assessment Report (TAR) is the third of a series of assessments; it has been superseded by the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4), released in 2007. Statements of the IPCC or information from the TAR are often used as a reference showing a scientific consensus on the subject of global warming, although a small minority of scientists take issue with the UN assessments (see also Global warming controversy and Politics of global warming). ==Working groups== The IPCC is organized as three working groups (WG) and a task force (): * WGI: Scientific aspects of climate (see ). * WGII: Vulnerability, consequences, and options (see ). * WGIII: Limitation and mitigation options (see ). * Task Force: National Greenhouse Gas Inventories Programme () WG I covers the same areas as the ''Second Assessment Report'' (SAR) of 1995, but WG II & III cover slightly different areas in the TAR. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IPCC Third Assessment Report」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
