Appendix 1 - 7 pages. Institutional stamp and ink notation on verso. Climate Change 1995 - The Science of Climate Change is the most comprehensive assessment available of current scientific understanding of human influences on past, present and future climate. Prepared under the auspices of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), each chapter is written by teams of authors and contributors recognized as experts in their field.

This assessment forms a standard scientific reference for all those concerned with climate change and its consequences, including policy makers in governments and industry worldwide, and researchers in environmental science, meteorology, climatology, biology, ecology and atmospheric chemistry. This extensive report's aim is to provide objective information on which to base global climate change that will ultimately meet the aim of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. The report includes an overview of the factors governing climate and climate change and quantification of the sources of globally important greenhouse gases and other pollutants arising from human activities. Included is an assessment of recent trends in climate during the industrial era which has witnessed the ever-growing impact of human activities on the global environment. The strengths and weaknesses of various climate mathematical models used for calculating possible future climates are assessed. The report discusses research aimed at the detection of human influence on the climate and presents future change projections in global climate and sea level based on a range of scenarios of future emissions of pollutants. A list of research and observational priorities needed to improve scientific understanding is presented. Seller Inventory # 78525
