This a good time to ask a question I have wondered about from time to time...

Is there a web site where all of the IPCC full reports may be viewed and downloaded?
I am guessing that there may be 7 of them so far, beginning with the first (?) in 1988.

At least at the beginning the reports were actual science, but it seems that starting in 1993 or 1995, the need for "consensus" caused scientists with credible credentials who disagreed with the interpretation of the facts to be dismissed from the panel.

Nothing issued since then is worth a damn, particularly the "summaries", which is all that the ordinary citizen is exposed to, which have demonstrable been twisted to report the opposite of what the panel has found.

Politics, pure and simple, and incompetent, at that.

Yes. And it's worth a look. The past full reports have been much more reserved than the summaries, or sensationalized accounts in the MSM, and from alarmists like Al Gore. I suspect that the full 2007 reports (not to be released for several months!) will contain a lot of ammo to dispute many of the outrageous claims of the alarmists.

The IPCC was formed in 1988 but it seems the first report was in 1990. The 1992 Supplementary Report scaled back the predictions of the 1990 report, which had only one climate scientist among its authors, and which had concealed the fact, well-known at the time to scientifically literate analysts, that the computer forecasts of climate change did not match observed temperatures. This was admitted in Congressional testimony six years later in 1998, but no one bothered to notice.
