Synopsis
Despite continued progress in climate science, there remain several hurdles economic, technological, inter-generational between where climate science stands today and where it needs to be in order to provide dependable solutions to the threat of climate change. Identifying those hurdles and compiling a plan for addressing them is an important first step toward mitigating the effects of climate change. Advancing the Science of Climate Change addresses what can be done to better understand climate change and its interactions with human and ecological systems. The book considers both the natural climate system and the human activities responsible for driving climate change and altering the vulnerability of different regions, sectors, and populations as a single system. Advancing the Science of Climate Change presents an overview of the past, present, and future of climate change, including its impacts, and discusses impediments to advancing the climate science field. Recommendations to overcome these impediments include the implementation of new observations, research programmes, next-generation models, and acquiring both the physical and human assets needed to support these and other activities.

Paperback. Condition: New. Climate change is occurring, is caused largely by human activities, and poses significant risks for-and in many cases is already affecting-a broad range of human and natural systems. The compelling case for these conclusions is provided in Advancing the Science of Climate Change, part of a congressionally requested suite of studies known as America's Climate Choices. While noting that there is always more to learn and that the scientific process is never closed, the book shows that hypotheses about climate change are supported by multiple lines of evidence and have stood firm in the face of serious debate and careful evaluation of alternative explanations. As decision makers respond to these risks, the nation's scientific enterprise can contribute through research that improves understanding of the causes and consequences of climate change and also is useful to decision makers at the local, regional, national, and international levels. The book identifies decisions being made in 12 sectors, ranging from agriculture to transportation, to identify decisions being made in response to climate change. Advancing the Science of Climate Change calls for a single federal entity or program to coordinate a national, multidisciplinary research effort aimed at improving both understanding and responses to climate change. Seven cross-cutting research themes are identified to support this scientific enterprise. In addition, leaders of federal climate research should redouble efforts to deploy a comprehensive climate observing system, improve climate models and other analytical tools, invest in human capital, and improve linkages between research and decisions by forming partnerships with action-oriented programs.
