AMS Climate Change Audio - Environmental Science Seminar Series (ESSS) Podcast
1) Assessing Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Policies: New Science Tools in the Service of Policy and Negotiations
New Tools for Assessing GHG Reduction Policies As negotiations towards a post-Kyoto agreement on Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions intensify, there is a pressing need for flexible, user-friendly analytic...Show More
2) Two Engineering Measures to Reduce Global Warming: Injecting Particles into the Atmosphere and "Clean" Coal
Managing Incoming Solar Radiation Largely out of concern that society may fall short of taking large and rapid enough measures to effectively contain the problem of global warming, two prominent atmos...Show More
3) Impacts of Recent Climate Change: Current Responses and Future Projections for Wild Ecosystems
Observed changes in natural systems, largely over the past century, indicate a clear global climate change signal. Even in the face of apparently dominating forces, such as direct, human-driven habita...Show More
4) Accelerating Atmospheric CO2 Growth from Economic Activity, Carbon Intensity, and Efficiency of Natural Carbon Sinks
The increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) is the single largest human perturbation of the climate system. Its rate of change reflects the balance between human-driven carbon emissions and the d...Show More
5) Keynote Address - AMS workshop on Federal Climate Policy
Herman Daly, Ph.D., delivers the keynote address the recent AMS workshop on Federal Climate Policy. He explores the distinction between economic growth —a quantitative increase in size that is constr...Show More
6) Public Attitudes, Perceptions, and Concern about Global Warming: Evidence from a New Survey
According to a February, 18, 2007, press release describing a survey on public perceptions of global warming, a majority of Americans agreed with most scientists that the Earth is getting warmer, but ...Show More
