The IPCC expressed its surprise and gratitute in a press release [2]. A number of researchers at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory were authors of the IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). The LBNL press release can be viewed here [3]. Two LBNL scientists, Lynn Price and Ernst Worrell, were lead authors of the Industry chapter [4] of Working Group III's AR4 report on Mitigation [5]. Stephane de la Rue du Can of LBNL was a contributing author for the industry chapter.
