What this document is

This document is Chapter 1, ‘Historical Overview of Climate Change Science’, from ‘Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis’ — the Working Group I contribution to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report. Its coordinating lead authors are Hervé Le Treut and Richard Somerville, supported by a wider team of lead, contributing and review authors.

The chapter traces how the scientific understanding of climate change developed over time, setting the historical context for the rest of the physical-science assessment.
