New Insights on Learning to Live with Climate Change

By some measures, climate change is in the past. "Multiple lines of evidence strongly support the finding that anthropogenic greenhouse gases have become the dominant driver of global climate warming observed since the mid-twentieth century," reports the revised Statement on Earth's Changing Climate adopted by the Council of the American Physical Society this November-;representing the collective voice of more than 50,000 members.
