- The impacts of
climate change are already being observed in a
variety of sectors and there is greater clarity that
these changes are being caused by human activities,
mainly through release of greenhouse gases. In 2005
the UK Government hosted the Avoiding Dangerous
Climate Change conference to take an in-depth look
at the scientific issues associated with climate
change. This volume presents the most recent
findings from the leading international scientists
that attended the conference. The topics addressed
include critical thresholds and key vulnerabilities
of the climate system, impacts on human and natural
systems, socioeconomic costs and benefits of
emissions pathways, and technological options for
meeting different stabilisation levels of greenhouse
gases in the atmosphere. The volume provides
invaluable information for researchers in
environmental science, climatology, and atmospheric
chemistry, policy-makers in governments and
environmental organizations, and scientists and
engineers in industry.
