Acknowledgments from the Individual Panel Reports

Acknowledgments by the Synthesis Panel

The work of the other panels was indispensable in the preparation of this report. George F. Carrier was chairman of the Effects Panel; Thomas H. Lee was chairman of the Mitigation Panel; and Paul E. Waggoner was chairman of the Adaptation Panel.

While this report represents the work of the panel, it would not have been produced without the support of professional staff from the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine: Rob Coppock, who drafted the chapters and the question and answers section (Appendix A), and refined them on the basis of the panel's discussions and conclusions, and Deborah Stine, whose work on the Mitigation Panel report is reflected in Chapter 6. Nancy Crowell contributed to preparation of the Adaptation and Mitigation panel reports and the administrative organization of the study. Their resumes are included with those of the panel in Appendix W because of their intellectual contributions, which advanced the committee's efforts throughout the study. The report was greatly improved by the diligent work of its editor, Roseanne Price. In addition, invaluable support was provided by Marion Roberts.

The panel also acknowledges with appreciation presentations made at meetings of the Synthesis Panel by the following persons:

Frederick Bernthal, Assistant Secretary of State
Roger Dower, World Resources Institute
Jae Edmonds, Battelle Northwest Laboratories
James Hansen, Goddard Institute for Space Studies
Dale Jorgenson, Harvard University

Acknowledgments by the Effects Panel

While this report represents the work of the panel, it would not have been produced without the support of professional staff from the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine: Rob Coppock, Deborah Stine, and Nancy Crowell.

In addition, invaluable support was provided by Marion Roberts.

The panel acknowledges with appreciation a presentation made to the panel by Donald J. Wuebbles. The panel also wishes to acknowledge contributions to Chapter 8 by Douglas E. Kinnison, Donald J. Wuebbles, and William Emanuel. The analysis in Chapter 5 was partially supported by the U.S. Department of Energy/National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Inter-Agency Agreement number DE-AIO5-90ER60592. Analysis presented in Chapter 8 was performed under the auspices of the U.S. Department of Energy Atmospheric and Climate Research Division by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory under contract W-7405-ENG-48. The National Research Council's Board on Atmospheric Science and Climate also provided draft documents for the panel's consideration.

Acknowledgments by the Mitigation Panel

The panel acknowledges with appreciation the following people, who aided the panel in the analysis of some of the mitigation options: Stephanie Pollack and Robert Russell, both of the Conservation Law Foundation; Ruth Reck, Richard Schwing, and George Wolff, all of General Motors Research; Lynn Wright, Oak Ridge National Laboratory; Edward Lukosius, E.I. du Pont; and Celina Atkinson, Jonathan Koomey, Alan Meier, Robert Mowris, Lynn Price, and Ellen Ward, all of Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory.

not have been produced without the support of professional staff from the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy of the National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Engineering, and Institute of Medicine, in particular Deborah Stine, who drafted the chapters and refined them based on panel discussions and conclusions. The report was greatly improved by the diligent work of its editor, Roseanne Price. In addition, invaluable support was provided by Marion Roberts and Ruth Danoff.

The panel would also like to thank the following people, who made presentations at panel meetings: Linda Stuntz, Department of Energy; David Montgomery, Congressional Budget Office; and Richard Morgenstern, Alex Cristofore, Mike Shelby, and Paul Schwengels, all of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

Acknowledgments by the Adaptation Panel

While the members of the Adaptation Panel are responsible for this report, it would not have been produced without the support of staff from the Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy. Rob Coppock, Nancy A. Crowell, Lawrence E. McCray, Roseanne Price, and Marion Roberts were indispensable. The panel appreciates the contribution of Scott Becvar of the University of Illinois. It is also grateful for presentations by the following persons: Ronald Benioff and Joel B. Smith of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; and Michael D. Bowes, Pierre R. Crosson, Joel Darmstadter, William E. Easterling III, and Kenneth D. Frederick of Resources for the Future.

Global warming continues to gain importance on the international agenda and calls for action are heightening. Yet, there is still controversy over what must be done and what is needed to proceed.

Policy Implications of Greenhouse Warming describes the information necessary to make decisions about global warming resulting from atmospheric releases of radiatively active trace gases. The conclusions and recommendations include some unexpected results. The distinguished authoring committee provides specific advice for U.S. policy and addresses the need for an international response to potential greenhouse warming.

It offers a realistic view of gaps in the scientific understanding of greenhouse warming and how much effort and expense might be required to produce definitive answers.

The book presents methods for assessing options to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, offset emissions, and assist humans and unmanaged systems of plants and animals to adjust to the consequences of global warming.
