From The Critics
This volume forms part of the Third Assessment Report produced by the Working Group II of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The 19 chapters discuss the context of climate change; methods for research and assessment; development of scenarios; the state of knowledge regarding climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability for different natural and human systems or sectors; vulnerabilities and key concerns of eight regions of the world; a synthesis of adaptation challenges, options and capacity; and a synthesis of risks for unique and threatened systems, extreme climate events, uneven distribution of impacts, global aggregate impacts, and large-scale high-impact events. Contains a Summary for Policymakers and a Technical Summary (both cross-referenced). Edited by McCarthy (zoology, Harvard U.), Osvaldo F. Canziani (National Universities of La Plata and Comahue), Neil A. Leary and Kasey S. White (IPCC Technical Support Unit), and David J. Dokken (University Corporation for Atmospheric Research).
