The IPCC report (

) was published in draft yesterday
WORKING GROUP I CONTRIBUTION TO THE IPCC FIFTH ASSESSMENT REPORT
CLIMATE CHANGE 2013: THE PHYSICAL SCIENCE BASIS

This is a critically important document for the human race. Yet how much of
the science is Open? How accessible is it?

One immediate concern is that many of the 9000+ references are closed. Can
we highlight this concern , e.g. by Crowdcrafting the analysis of the
references? How many are closed? How much would it cost a concerned citizen
(or group of citizens) to read all the references?
