Kevin,
I remember the discussions, but I've not seen this attachment before. It might
have been posted on the WGI web site?
I was aware that CQ3.2 was supposed to include urban issues. I've been
ignoring it as it just confuses the message the QACC is trying to convey.
I'm off home now. I'll think about this overnight. Each QACC would be better
after each section, like the boxes. This might mean renumbering. It will
also mean moving some figures and their renumbering?
Cheers
Phil

Hi all
I just found out I am supposed to help do another CQ: on water vapor and the natural
greenhouse effect. Help!
Anyway, I was also sent this attachment, which I don't think I had seen before. I
recall the meetings on this in Beijing.
Several points affect us immediately
1) The CQ's are now labeled : QACCS (Questions about Climate Change Science) - that
reeks of a committee decision, doesn't it?
2) In item 4 there are suggestions for CQ3.2 to add stuff on urban effects. So for the
moment I have taken the short para from the exec summary and put it in there as a place
holder.
3) In item 5 it suggests placing the QACCS in the text at the appropriate places, rather
than at the end. This is a bit weird in that the order and numbering is fixed and so
QACCS 3.2 will come before QACCS 3.1. It is also apt to disrupt the text somewhat
although it makes the figures more complementary. Si maybe we can place it at the end
of major sections, not really embedded?
Please comment about the latter. I gather we don't have to do this, but perhaps we
should? It also means relabeling all the references to CQ to QACCS. Henceforth you
will not see CQ any more.
Kevin
