Changes will affect the economy, natural resources, public health, agriculture, and the livelihoods of its residents. But how big is the risk? How will Californians adapt? What will it cost? This book is the first to ask and attempt to answer these and other questions so central to the long-term health of the state. While California is undeniably unique and diverse, the challenges it faces will be mirrored everywhere. This succinct and authoritative review of the latest evidence suggests feasible changes that can sustain prosperity, mitigate adverse impacts of climate change, and stimulate research and policy dialog across the globe. The authors argue that the sooner society recognizes the reality of climate change risk, the more effectively we can begin adaptation to limit costs to present and future generations. They show that climate risk presents a new opportunity for innovation, supporting aspirations for prosperity in a lower carbon, climate altered future where we can continue economic progress without endangering the environment and ourselves.Stephen Bechtel fund book in ecology and the environment.Climatic changesCaliforniaClimatic changesEconomic aspectsCaliforniaClimatic changesEnvironmental aspectsCaliforniacalifornia beauty.carbon emissions.climate change in california.climate change risk.climate change.climatology.discussion books.earth sciences.easy to read.ecology.educational books.engaging.environment and the economy.environment issues.fixing climate change.global heating.global warming.going green.informative books.learning from experts.lower carbon.meteorology.politics and climate.protecting the earth.public health.thinking about the future.united states climate.Climatic changesClimatic changesEconomic aspectsClimatic changesEnvironmental aspects363.738/7409794Kahrl Fredrich1554103Roland-Holst David W1554104MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785618503321Climate change in California3815136UNINA
