Rosenberg, N J; Crosson, P R

This workshop focuses on the nature of the greenhouse effect, how it is linked with fossil fuel combustion and land use changes, predictions of climatic change and sea level rise that may follow greenhouse warming, and the degree of certainty that scientists associate with these predictions. The possible effects of greenhouse warming on agriculture, forestry, unmanaged ecosystems, and water resources are examined. The policy and economic implications of controlling global warming and adapting to its possible effects were also examined. The prospect of global warming was examined from the perspective of the developing nations and in the general context of global-scale environmental changes that now appear to be occurring.
