Climate Crash: Abrupt Climate Change and What It Means for Our Future
Climate Crash: Abrupt Climate Change and What It Means for Our Future
(National Academies, 2005) The fossil record of ancient climate suggests that some climate change happens abruptly, rather than gradually as our basic models predict.

One implication is that our generation could discover that we have less time than we think to address manmade greenhouse warming.

U.S. National Assessment of Climate Change
This comprehensive study of the vulnerabilities and potential impacts of climate change on the U.S. was mandated by the Global Change Research Act of 1990. It includes studies looking specifically at 19 different U.S. regions. Assembled by hundreds of experts from academia and elsewhere, it was completed in the late Clinton administration and partly suppressed by the Bush administration.
