The effects of climate change will touch every corner of the world's economies and societies; adaptation is inevitable. The remaining question is to what extent humans will anticipate and reduce undesired consequences of climate change, or postpone response until after climate change impacts have altered ecological and socioeconomic systems so significantly that opportunities for adaptation become limited. This book summarizes a National Research Council workshop at which presentations and discussion identified specific needs associated with this gap between the demand and supply of scientific information about climate change adaptation  aAlso available via the World Wide Web.  aMode of access: Internet 0aClimatic changesxResearchzUnited States 0aGlobal warmingxResearchzUnited States 0aGreenhouse gasesxResearchzUnited States 0aFederal aid to researchzUnited States 0aScience and state2 aNational Research Council (U.S.).bCommittee on Strategic Advice on the U.S. Climate Change Science Program2 aNational Research Council (U.S.).bDivision on Earth and Life Studies2 aCenter for Studies of Behavior and Development (U.S.)2 aNational Academies Press (U.S.)403NetLibraryuhttp://www.netlibrary.com.libraryumpsa.idm.oclc.org/urlapi.asp?action=summary&v=1&bookid=276663
