New Publication: Climate Change Evidence and Causes

by Leave a Comment

royalsocietycoverimageClimate Change Evidence & Causes Overview is a jointly produced publication of The US National Academy of Sciences and The Royal Society. Written by a UK-US team of leading climate scientists and reviewed by climate scientists and others, the publication is intended as a brief, readable reference document for decision makers, policy makers, educators, and other individuals seeking authoritative information on the some of the questions that continue to be asked.

Climate Change Evidence & Causes Overview makes clear what is well-established and where understanding is still developing. It echoes and builds upon the long history of climate-related work from both national academies, as well as on the newest climate-change assessment from the United Nations’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. It touches on current areas of active debate and ongoing research, such as the link between ocean heat content and the rate of warming.

National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) Global Monitoring Division is a wonderful resource.

There are other wonderful videos and graphics available on NOAA ESRL’s website.

Their mission is “providing the best possible information on atmospheric constituents that drive climate change, stratospheric ozone depletion, and baseline air quality.

ESRL’s Global Monitoring Division conducts sustained observations and research related to global distributions, trends, sources and sinks of atmospheric constituents that are capable of forcing change in the climate of the Earth. This research will advance climate projections and provide scientific policy-relevant, decision support information to enhance society’s ability to plan and respond.”
