This volume will include scenarios of geophysical and economic impacts from global warming beyond a doubling of greenhouse gases. Analyses will examine geophysical, ecological, and economic impacts, physical and institutional lags, alternative scenarios with and without policy intervention,...

As CO2 equivalent gases increase beyond a doubling, there will likely be unavoidable damage to U.S. agriculture. In equatorial regions of the world, damage from global warming will occur earlier than in the U.S. Biogeophysical lags, including deep-ocean mixing with warmer surface waters, can...
