2009 Climate Change Science Compendium The Climate Change Science Compendium is a review of some 400 major scientific contributions to our understanding of Earth Systems and climate that have been released through peer-reviewed literature or from research institutions over the last three years, since the close of research for consideration by the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report. The Compendium is not a consensus document or an update of any other process. Instead, it is a presentation of some exciting scientific findings, interpretations, ideas, and conclusions that have emerged among scientists.

2009 State of the Climate The 2009 State of the Climate report released today draws on data for 10 key climate indicators that all point to the same finding: the scientific evidence that our world is warming is unmistakable.

2009 Synthesis Report from Copenhagen Climate Change Conference Recent observations show that greenhouse gas emissions and many aspects of the climate are changing near the upper boundary of the IPCC range of projections. Many key climate indicators are already moving beyond the patterns of natural variability within which contemporary

Arctic Climate Feedbacks: Global Implications Human-induced climate change has affected the Arctic earlier than expected. The impact of these changes on the Arctic's physical systems, biological systems, and human inhabitants is large and projected to grow throughout this century and beyond.

Antarctic Climate Change and the Environment Based on the latest evidence* from 100 world-leading scientists from eight countries, the review focuses on the impact and consequences of rapid warming of the Antarctic Peninsula and the Southern Ocean; rapid ice loss in parts of Antarctica and the increase in sea ice around the continent; the impact of climate change on Antarctica’s plants and animals; the unprecedented increase in carbon dioxide levels; the connections between human-induced global change and natural variability; and the extraordinary finding that the ozone hole has shielded most of Antarctica from global warming.

APA: Psychology and Global Climate Change Psychology can improve understanding of the behaviors that drive climate change by building better behavioral models based on empirical analysis, providing deeper understanding of individual and household behavior, and applying evaluation research methods to efforts to develop and improve interventions.

Climate Change Science: An Analysis of Some Key Questions National Academies of Science: The committee generally agrees with the assessment of human-caused climate change presented in the IPCC Working Group I (WGI) scientific report, but seeks here to articulate more clearly the level of confidence that can be ascribed to those assessments and the caveats that need to be attached to them. This articulation may be helpful to policy makers as they consider a variety of options for mitigation and/or adaptation.

The Climate Lobby from Soup to Nuts An analysis of the latest federal records by The Center for Public Integrity shows that the overall number of businesses and groups lobbying on climate legislation has essentially held steady at about 1,160, thanks in part to a variety of interests that have left the fray. But a close look at the 140 or so interests that jumped into the debate for the first time in the third quarter shows a marked trend: Companies and organizations which feel they’ve been overlooked are fighting for a place at the table.

Climate Change and Anthropogenic Greenhouse Warming: A Selection of Key Articles, 1824-1995, with Interpretive Essays Anyone seeking to understand climate change and anthropogenic greenhouse warming is well advised to read not only the current literature, but also the key scientific papers of earlier eras. History is particularly relevant since, over timescales of decades and centuries, ideas about the climate have been changing faster than the physical climate system. Thus, students of climate dynamics should also be well read in science dynamics—the change of scientific ideas and practices over time.

Climate change, extreme events and human health A paper presented during a workshop on "Global Climate Change and Extreme Weather Events: Understanding the Potential Contributions to the Emergence, Reemergence and Spread of Infectious Disease," sponsored by the Institute of Medicine of the Nationmal Academies. The topic is the direct and indirect influences of extreme weather events and climate change on the prevalence and geographic range of vector and non-vector-borne diseases.

Climate Change and Plants; Which Future? In looking to the future, it is increasingly critical to understand how plants respond on a basic level to the changes imposed upon them by continued increases in atmospheric CO2, as well as the cascade of climatic and environmental changes triggered by this increase. While plant responses to changes in single variables, such as CO2 or temperature, are increasingly well-understood, we have only just begun to understand how the interaction of these changes impacts plants and their role in regulating the global climate.

Coastal-Change and Glaciological Map of the Palmer Land Area, Antarctica: 1947—2009 Reduction in the area and volume of the two polar ice sheets is intricately linked to changes in global climate, and the resulting rise in sea level could severely impact the densely populated coastal regions on Earth.

Climate Change: Mitigation and adaptation at urban level Cities are main drivers of climate change, and they are driven by climate change. And so, there is both need for mitigation and adaptation. Mitigation requires reducing (more or less drastically) most energy and materials flows. Adaptation requires restructuring (more or less radically) many of the established stocks. In this paper, some conceptual elements and empiric examples of urban mitigation and adaptation are being presented. As it seems, there is strong need for action on both these issues.

The Copenhagen Diagnosis: Climate Science Report The purpose of this report is to synthesize the most policy-relevant climate science published since the close-off of material for the last IPCC report. The rationale is two-fold. First, this report serves as an interim evaluation of the evolving science midway through an IPCC cycle. Second, and most important, the report serves as a handbook of science updates that supplements the IPCC AR4 in time for Copenhagen in December 2009.
