Climate Change Today

The MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change conducts detailed studies on many aspects of the climate issue — but often it can be difficult to piece the results of these various reports together to form a comprehensive picture of the current state of global change research. This short note offers observations based on our research and that of others on how the climate issue has changed over the last two years, and what these changes mean for industries and government. We follow these general observations with more detailed supporting material that references recent Joint Program research.
