The report under challenge is the National Assessment of the Potential Consequences of Climate Variability and Change, an analysis of the probable effects of rising temperatures Congress commissioned in 1990.
By running them using different assumptions (for example, no increase in greenhouse-gas emissions, or more volcanic activity), and comparing the results with reality, it is possible to reveal the probable effects of the emissions.
And for those concerned about the probable effects of climate change, forests contain twice as much carbon as the atmosphere, in plant-matter and the soils they cover, and when they are razed and their soils disturbed most is emitted.
Under the Canadian Arctic Shelf Exchange Study, a relay of scientists from Canada, America, Japan and six other countries have wintered on the ice-breaker Amundsen, studying the probable effects of global warming.
SITTING on Bill Solecki's desk at Montclair State University was a study outlining the probable effects of global warming toward the end of the century: more frequent severe winter storms, sending floodwaters surging into such places as Jersey City and entrances to the Hudson River tunnels.
