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. 410 0$aStephen Bechtel fund book in ecology and the environment. 606 $aClimatic changes$zCalifornia 606 $aClimatic changes$xEconomic aspects$zCalifornia 606 $aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects$zCalifornia 610 $acalifornia beauty. 610 $acarbon emissions. 610 $aclimate change in california. 610 $aclimate change risk. 610 $aclimate change. 610 $aclimatology. 610 $adiscussion books. 610 $aearth sciences. 610 $aeasy to read. 610 $aecology. 610 $aeducational books. 610 $aengaging. 610 $aenvironment and the economy. 610 $aenvironment issues. 610 $afixing climate change. 610 $aglobal heating. 610 $aglobal warming. 610 $agoing green. 610 $ainformative books. 610 $alearning from experts. 610 $alower carbon. 610 $ameteorology. 610 $apolitics and climate. 610 $aprotecting the earth. 610 $apublic health. 610 $athinking about the future. 610 $aunited states climate. 615 0$aClimatic changes 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEconomic aspects 615 0$aClimatic changes$xEnvironmental aspects 676 $a363.738/7409794 700 $aKahrl$b Fredrich$01554103 701 $aRoland-Holst$b David W$01554104 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785618503321 996 $aClimate change in California$93815136 997 $aUNINA
