Abstract
The IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) presented on January 2007, in Paris, its Fourth Assessment Report about the climate change in 2007. The report was subjected to final approval and acceptance at the 10th Working Group I Session held in Paris from 29th January to 1st February 2007. This report caused quite a (positive and negative) stir in the scientific community, but it has been commented on, probably because it brought great hope to people. But at first sight, it's not easy for us to understand what provides the report, why it is different from the past thousands of reports we have read? Because, indeed, the awareness about environmental issue dates back to the 1990s, initiated by the Club of Rome, founded 1968. The important stages of the environment's integration in our economies are, the conclusion of the convention of Rio de Janeiro in 1992, and then, of course, the Kyoto protocol in 1997. These advances, were completed by all sorts of scientific reports, which, most part of the time, were objects of many controversies about their legitimacy. What can be the impact of such a report? We will base our analysis on David Adam's article, 'UN's vast report will end the scientific argument', published in The Guardian, on the 27th of January 2007.
