Beyond Climate Science

摘要

The United States Is Moving Rapidly Into An Age Of Climate-Related Decisions Involving mitigation and adaptation, following decades of focusing on reducing uncertainties in attribution and prediction. But the nation lacks a deliberate approach to generating the "environmental intelligence" needed to support good decisions.rnIt is critical to create a single, credible, authoritative source of climate information to support decision-makers. Consider one example: Will U.S. cities or states simply pick one climate model as a basis for decisions? Will the information be defensible as the best available? The level of authority required dictates that a National Climate Service be established.
