This seems odd: This summer, the United Nations’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released the near-final version of its “Sixth Assessment Report,” an apparently comprehensive survey of the climate literature since the last one in 2014.

The reactions have been predictable. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said it is “a code red for humanity.” Linda Mearns, one of the nearly 300 authors and a federal climatologist in Boulder, Colorado, said there will be “nowhere to run, nowhere to hide,” and that “it’s just guaranteed that it’s going to get worse.”
