Prospects for Future ClimateA Special US/USSR Report on Climate and Climate Change

This new book describes the effects of the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases and the potential for climate change and impact on agriculture and hydrology. Projections are based on insights from both numerical models and empirical methods. The book reviews climates of the distant and recent past and the results of climate models seeking lessons that can help project future climate. Extensive paleoclimatic studies emphasized by Soviet scientists and the intensive modeling efforts emphasized by U.S. scientists make this a required reference for atmospheric scientists, hydrologists, paleoclimatologists, agriculturalists, regulators, libraries and anyone interested in the field of climate change.
