I argue that this shift is more evidence of the fai...

This article describes results from a national study (2003) that...
متن کاملAn Overview of “Dangerous” Climate Change
This paper briefly outlines the basic science on climate change, as well as the IPCC assessments on emissions scenarios and climate impacts, to provide a context for the topic of key vulnerabilities to climate change. A conceptual overview of “dangerous” climate change issues and the roles of scientists and policy makers in this complex scientific and policy arena are suggested, based on litera...
