At Copenhagen in December 2009, the international community agreed
to limit global warming to below two degrees Celsius to avoid the
worst impacts of human-induced climate change. However climate
scientists agree that current national emissions targets
collectively will still not achieve this goal. Instead, the
'ambition gap' between climate science and climate policy is likely
to lead to average global warming of around four degrees Celsius by
or before 2100. If a 'Four Degree World' is the de facto goal of
policy, we urgently need to understand what this world might look
like. Four Degrees of Global Warming: Australia in a Hot World
outlines the expected consequences of this world for Australia and
its region. Its contributors include many of Australia's most
eminent and internationally recognized climate scientists, climate
policy makers and policy analysts. They provide an accessible,
detailed, dramatic, and disturbing examination of the likely
impacts of a Four Degree World on Australia's social, economic and
ecological systems. The book offers policy makers, politicians,
students, and anyone interested climate change, access to the most
recent research on potential Australian impacts of global warming,
and possible responses.
