Format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches. xii, 572 pages. Illustrations (some with color) . References. Appendix 1 - 7 pages. Institutional stamp and ink notation on verso. Climate Change 1995 - The Science of Climate Change is the most comprehensive assessment available of current scientific understanding of human influences on past, present and future climate. Prepared under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), each chapter is written by teams of authors and contributors recognized as experts in their field. Climate Change 1995 is the first full sequel to the original 1990 IPCC scientific assessment, bringing us up to date on the full range of aspects of climate change. This assessment forms a standard scientific reference for all those concerned with climate change and its consequences, including policy makers in governments and industry worldwide, and researchers in environmental science, meteorology, climatology, biology, ecology and atmospheric chemistry. This extensive report's aim is to provide objective information on which to base global climate change that will ultimately meet the aim of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The report includes an overview of the factors governing climate and climate change and quantification of the sources of globally important greenhouse gases and other pollutants arising from human activities. Included is an assessment of recent trends in climate during the industrial era which has witnessed the ever-growing impact of human activities on the global environment. The strengths and weaknesses of various climate mathematical models used for calculating possible future climates are assessed. The report discusses research aimed at the detection of human influence on the climate and presents future change projections in global climate and sea level based on a range of scenarios of future emissions of pollutants. A list of research and observational priorities needed to improve scientific understanding is presented.…

Review
'... a wealth of clear, well-organized information that is all in one place ... there is much to applaud.' A. Alan Moghissi, Environment International
'... for someone who is looking for a comprehensive account of the current state of climate science, and an exhaustive compilation of references to the furious scientific endeavour of the past few years, this volume will be invaluable. It will be a key reference, at least until the next report in the new millenium!' Weather
'The lack of emotive language and the scientific candour of the reports makes the information useful (especially the excellent summaries) for those keen to get behind the public rhetoric.' TEG News
' ... the standard scientific reference for many years to come.' Bulletin of the International Society of Soil Science
