Resumo: Updates the 1990 report paying close attention to its key conclusion, and to new issues which have appeared in the scientific debate. Does not cover the full range of topics disscussed in the 1990 report, and should be read in conjunction with that report. Focusses on sources and sinks of greenhouse gases and the precursors of tropospheric ozone; radioactive forcing of the atmosphere, with emphasis on the concept of Global Warming Potential; updated scenerios for the emission of greenhouse gases up to the end of the 21st century (as the basis for climate modelling studies); new developments in climate modelling and model validation; and recent observational data on climate variability and change
