Information sources

Hey guys, I've been reading some drafts of papers and one potential problem that I see is that people are relying on web-based resources very heavily, but those web-based sources are often fairly fringe. A cool website name does not necessarily mean that it has good information. For this paper, as we posted earlier on the blog under "climate resources", it is important to look at some primary sources of information on climate impacts, and ones that reflect some degree of consensus. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is the world's center for information on climate change. If I were writing this paper, I would definitely think about citing some information from that. There is a IPCC Summary for Policy Makers that might be a particularly good resource. And it is written for busy, time-starved political decision makers.
