Agriculture, Risk and Climate Change
Climate modelers have been warning for a decade about the extent and seriousness of global climate change, brought about by increasing greenhouse gas emissions over the past century. Some skeptics have questioned the validity of the assumptions underpinning these models, but climatologists have adju...

Climate modelers have been warning for a decade about the extent and seriousness of global climate change, brought about by increasing greenhouse gas emissions over the past century.
