Abstract: 

We focus on how different global temperature increases represented in IPCC reports have shifted over time. While the first four assessment reports had a roughly equal focus on temperatures above and below 2°C , the more recent fifth and sixth assessment reports have a considerably stronger focus on warming below 2°C . This is concerning as warming above 2°C is more likely given current emissions trajectories and is more influential on climate risk assessments.
