Date	2008
Description	Preserved in the OCLC Digital Archive. Harvested from http://www.ostp.gov/galleries/NSTC%20Reports/Scientific%20Assessment%20FULL%20Report.pdf (report) and http://www.ostp.gov/galleries/NSTC%20Reports/Fact%20Sheet%20of%20the%20Assessment.pdf (summary) on July 22, 2008.

Format	application/pdf
Language	eng
Relation	http://worldcat.org/oclc/229447530/viewonline
Description-Table Of Contents	Executive summary -- Introduction -- Causes of climate change -- Trends and projections of physical changes -- Effects of global change on the natural environment and human systems -- Introduction -- Objectives -- Relationship to other Assessments and primary scientific literature -- Characterization of uncertainty -- Report structure -- Evaluation of overall progress by CCSP -- Program inputs -- Program outputs -- Trends and projections of global environmental change -- Radiative forcing and observed climate change -- Attribution of observed climate change to human activities at the global and continental scale -- Projected future greenhouse gas concentrations and climate change -- Analysis of the effects of global change on the natural environment and human systems -- Biological diversity, ecosystem composition, and the natural environment -- Agriculture and food production -- Land resources -- Water resources -- Social systems and settlements -- Human health -- Energy production, use, and distribution -- Transportation.
Description-Abstract	Over the past several years, our understanding of global environmental change and our ability to estimate its future effects has improved significantly. In order to summarize the key conclusions of this research, the U.S. Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) has undertaken a national scale "Scientific Assessment of the Effects of Global Change on the United States." The conclusions in this assessment build on the vast body of observations, modeling, decision-support, and other types of activities conducted under the auspices of CCSP. It draws on findings from previous assessments of the science, including reports and products by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, (IPCC), CCSP, and others.Together with CCSP's 21 Synthesis and Assessment Products, this is arguably the most comprehensive assessment to date of the effects of global change, and especially the climate, on the United States.
