Special Climate Change Report

A New York Times article published on August 8th points to a 673 page draft report on climate change not yet released to the public by scientists from 13 federal government agencies. The key findings are summarized on page 42 of the report and include that the global climate continues to change rapidly compared to the pace of the natural variations in climate that have occurred throughout Earth's history.

The report, a special section of the National Climate Assessment issued every four years, is part of the U.S. Global Change Research Program. The Fourth National Climate Assessment should be published later in 2018.

The OSU Library has copies of the highlights of the Assessments in paper and they are also available online.
