The Science of Climate Change February 2015<\/a> from the Australian Academy of Science is aimed at non-scientists trying to make sense of the contradictory information in the public domain.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It sets out to explain the current situation in climate science, including where there is consensus in the scientific community and where uncertainties exist. The document is structured around nine questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What is climate change?<\/li>\n
  2. How has climate changed?<\/li>\n
  3. Are human activities causing climate change?<\/li>\n
  4. How do we expect climate to evolve in the future?<\/li>\n
  5. How are extreme events changing?<\/li>\n
  6. How are sea levels changing?<\/li>\n
  7. What are the impacts of climate change?<\/li>\n
  8. What are the uncertainties and their implications?<\/li>\n
  9. What does science say about options to address climate change?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Understanding climate change is a constantly evolving challenge, and a constantly evolving field of research, making summaries such as this essential to keeping informed.<\/p>\n

    If your after a simple What? When? Why? How? Then look no further.<\/strong><\/p>\n
