| description | There is a growing consensus that emissions
of greenhouse gases due to human activity will
alter the earth’s climate, most notably by causing
temperatures, precipitation levels, and weather
variability to increase. The design of optimal
climate change mitigation policies requires estimates
of the health and other benefits of reductions
in greenhouse gases; current evidence on
the magnitude of the direct and indirect impacts,
however, is considered insufficient for reliable
conclusions (A. J. McMichael et al. 2003). |
