The 2014 Budget reflects the President’s commitment to global-change research by sustainingcoordinated, government-wide efforts on research to understand, predict, mitigate, and adapt to globalchange, including climate change, and to inform the Nation’s transition to a clean-energy economy.Investments in global-change science through the U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP)over the past several decades have significantly expanded our knowledge of Earth’s past and presentclimate, enhanced our ability to project future climate change, and improved our understanding of theimpacts and risks associated with climate change. Building on this solid scientific foundation, theUSGCRP will continue to fulfill its Congressional mandate by strengthening its focus on providingpractical scientific information, tools, and data to decision makers and resource managers....

global climate change and because these costs will be incurred far in the future. They think that Stern improperly fails to discount for either uncertainty or futurity.... versity, dealt with the basic physics of weathersystems (pressure variations, the laws determining the strength of winds, the causes and effectsof precipitation, and similar matters). One of thefirst things to understand was what determinedthe general level of temperature. The source ofterrestrial temperature is, of course, solar radiation. But heating of the Earth from the Sun’s rayscauses the Earth to emit radiation at frequencies appropriate to its temperature, that is, inthe infra-red low-frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Since the Earth radiatesinto empty space, where the temperature approximates absolute zero, it would appear thatin equilibrium the Earth should come to thattemperature also, as is indeed the case with theMoon.....

Everyone seems to have an opinion ... there is so much agreement, then what are people arguing about? Some people believe that the current warming ispart of a long-term trend, while others suggest it is part ofa natural fluctuation between warm and cool periods. Stillothers suggest that global warming ended about 10 yearsago. Some people argue over just how quickly the Earthresponds to higher CO2 levels. Some challenge the ideathat future climate change will cause significant problems,or they disagree on whether the rise of CO2 in the atmosphere is caused by human activity. Finally, some worrythat they will be blamed or will be asked to make unacceptable sacrifices....
