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.…

Feel free to inquire for photos or more details. --- A consensus study report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, prepared through the Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education and the Division on Earth and Life Studies. It argues that anthropology, communication, economics, geography, psychology, sociology and related fields belong at the core of weather research and operations. The report examines how social and behavioral science can improve weather warnings, preparedness, forecasting, emergency response and recovery. Its seven chapters set out the motivation for this integration and review the current state of such work in the field. One chapter is devoted to road weather. Further chapters set out a research agenda and a framework for sustained support. That framework covers representing social scientists in leadership, building long-term funding and capacity, and filling knowledge gaps in risk assessment and the design and delivery of messages. Appendices list funding examples from NOAA, NSF and DHS and draw lessons from how these sciences were brought into public health. …
