What is it about?
Climate change is the biggest threat of our time, and robust climate scenarios are the only compass nations have for navigating its uncertainty. For the first time, we applied Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) with layered analytical prompts to the IPCC synthesis reports, delivering a replicable, AI-powered framework for auditing this climate knowledge.

Why is it important?
The paper contributes a replicable method for auditing longitudinal consistency in large assessment corpora and a substantive account of how IPCC scenario knowledge has moved from descriptive climate futures toward integrated, uncertainty-calibrated, and policy-conditioned knowledge representation.
Perspectives
It is a bold demonstration of how artificial intelligence can be placed at the frontline of humanity's most urgent scientific and civilizational challenge!
