IPCC ReportsThe Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released in 2007 a series of reports expressing the current state of knowledge about climate change. These are the most definitive reports from the world's leading scientists. U.S. Government Reports The Effects of Climate Change on Agriculture, Land Resources, Water Resources, and Biodiversity released in May 2008 by the U.S. Climate Change Science Program. Also, borrowing heavily from the above report and the IPCC's 2007 reports, the U.S. government also released in May 2008 Scientific Assessment of the Effects of Global Change on the United States, a national assessment required by law. The National Academy of Sciences in 2001 released Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions. In 2007, the National Academy of Sciences released Colorado River Basin Water Management: Evaluating and Adjusting to Hydroclimatic Variability, dealing in part with climate change in the Colorado River basin.
