UCS hosts second of four webinars on climate change (with poll)

by hold tight

This morning, the Union of Concerned Scientists hosted another webinar from the National Academy of Sciences presenting the results of their work on climate change. This one addressed 'Limiting the Magnitude of Future Climate Change.'

I posted a diary last week about the first webinar. In it, I provided the background for the studies, and links to the reports that came out of the work.

Today, I will summarize the conclusions of this second report presented in the webinar. You can read a brief summary of it here.

But, first, a personal note.

Today the Union of Concerned Scientists hosted the first of four webinars presenting the results of The National Academies work on climate change with America's Climate Choices.

If you are interested in participating in any of the other webinars, email sciencenetwork@ucsusa.org and ask for information.

From America's Climate Choices

The Department of Commerce Appropriations Act of 2008 (Public Law 110-161) calls for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to execute an agreement with the National Academy of Sciences to establish a committee that will "investigate and study the serious and sweeping issues relating to global climate change and make recommendations regarding what steps must be taken and what strategies must be adopted in response to global climate change, including the science and technology challenges thereof."

Today's webinar summarized the first of the reports.
