This book provides technical summaries of the conclusions from the 1995 IPCC assessment in an effort to make that material more accessible. It also contains critiques of the information and reasoning used to derive some of the report's conclusions. The critiques and rejoinders aim to put the strengths and weaknesses of the IPCC conclusions in a clearer perspective, and to identify priorities for further research. The book results from a workshop held in Snowmass, Colo., in August 1996. The early chapters review analytical issues critical to social and economic understanding of climate change.
Later chapters address specific economic questions surrounding climate-change policy.
