They discuss the biotic consequences of global warming, the effects on physical systems such as the soil and water supplies, the global greenhouse gases, and public policy responses. The recommendations include curbing the production of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane, and enforcing international agreements to inhibit the use of ozone-depleting chlorofluorocarbons. | ||
