| Tiivistelmä: | The probability of climate change has become the subject of lively enquiry in the social and natural sciences across the USA and an impressive literature of studies has been documented. Scientists have vigorously debated whether the rate of greenhouse gas accumulation in the atmosphere will lead to severe climate change in the next 20 or 30 years. The first rounds of the debate indicate that science policy has become highly controversial, and that projections of global warning could divide the scientific community along political lines to those who argue that remedial action should immediately be started and to those who argue that it is too early to cut back on CO2 emissions, energy use and industrial growth. |
