BBC: This "eagerly awaited" large scale IPCC report could be its last; "several hundred" scientists and over 100 NGOs have been involved

BBC News - Climate leaks are 'misleading' says IPCC ahead of major report
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has warned against drawing too many conclusions from the latest leaked version of its upcoming, and eagerly awaited Assessment Report 5 (AR5).
...
The process of compiling this report, with several hundred scientists, 195 governments and over 100 non-governmental organisations involved has been particularly leaky, with at least three confidential drafts being made public in the last year.
...
But those involved with the IPCC say that even now, just a month away from publication you would be "foolish in the extreme" to take this latest leak as conclusive.
...
The ongoing problems with leaks is one of the reasons behind the mutterings that this large scale, multi faceted report from the IPCC could be its last.
