Climate Change 1995: The Science of Climate Change by John T Houghton
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 lead authors and contributors recognised internationally as leading experts in their field. Climate Change 1995 is the first full sequel to the original 1990 IPCC scientific assessment, bringing us completely up to date on the full range of scientific aspects of climate change. This assessment forms the standard scientific reference for all those concerned with climate change and its consequences, including policymakers in governments and industry worldwide, and researchers and senior-level students in environmental science, meteorology, climatology, biology, ecology and atmospheric chemistry.
' … essential reading for anyone interested in global environmental change, either past, present or futureClimate Change 1995 is the fourth major report of the IPCC … These volumes have a deservedly high reputation for their clear analysis and presentation of climate data, and for the consensus statements of their significance for climate policy. For the Earth Scientist they provide one-stop overviews of the climate system and its natural and anthropogenic variation on a 1 to 1000 year timescale.' Nigel Woodcock, Geological Magazine
