    IPCC. 2013. Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis. Contribution of Working Group I to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change [Stocker, T. F., et al. (eds.)]. Cambridge University Press, New York, NY. https://www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/wg1/. As of 2018, this Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) is the most recent IPCC assessment report. The Sixth Assessment Report (AR6) is in progress. The IPCC Working Group I assessment reports are the definitive summary of the physical science of climate change.

    US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). 2014. Climate Change Impacts in the United States: The Third National Climate Assessment [Melillo, J. M., Richmond, T. C., and Yohe, G. W. (eds.)]. USGCRP, Washington, DC. https://doi.org/10.7930/J0KW5CXT. This US government report differs from the IPCC assessment reports in two important ways. First, it is focused on the United States rather than the entire planet. Second, it is far more readable and much better illustrated than the IPCC reports. It is a model of excellent communication of climate change science. It is available at https://nca2014.globalchange.gov/.

    US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP). 2017. Climate Science Special Report: Fourth National Climate Assessment, Volume I [Wuebbles, D. J., et al. (eds.)]. USGCRP, Washington, DC. https://doi.org/10.7930/ J0J964J6. This is the physical science portion of the Fourth National Climate Assessment, a US government report. It is available at https://science2017 .globalchange.gov/. Volume II of this report, dealing with impacts, risks, and adaptation in the United States, was released in late 2018. It is available at https://nca2018.globalchange.gov
