CLIMATE CHANGE 2001: THE SCIENTIFIC BASIS
Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis is the most comprehensive
and up-to-date scientific assessment of past, present and future
climate change. The report:
- Analyses an enormous body of observations of all parts of
the climate system.
- Catalogues increasing concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse
gases.
- Assesses our understanding of the processes and feedbacks
which govern the climate system.
- Projects scenarios of future climate change using a wide range
of models of future emissions of greenhouse gases and aerosols.
- Makes a detailed study of whether a human influence on climate
can be identified.
- Suggests gaps in information and understanding that remain
in our knowledge of climate change and how these might be addressed.
Simply put, this latest assessment of the IPCC will again form
the standard scientific reference for all those concerned with
climate change and its consequences, including students and researchers
in environmental science, meteorology, climatology, biology, ecology
and atmospheric chemistry, and policymakers in governments and
industry worldwide.
