    Science Is UNDERstating Climate Risks – study

    Current climate change models understate the problem, scientists argue

    February 8, 2017 (Science Daily)

    “A new study on the relationship between people and the planet…argues that there are critical components missing from current climate models that inform environmental, climate, and economic policies…[and] describes how the recent growth in resource use, land-use change, emissions, and pollution has made humanity the dominant driver of change in most of the Earth's natural systems, and how these changes, in turn, have important feedback effects on humans with costly and serious consequences…The authors argue that current estimates of the impact of climate change do not connect human variables -- such as demographics, inequality, economic growth, and migration -- with planetary changes. This makes current models likely to miss important feedbacks in the real Earth-human system, especially those that may result in unexpected or counterintuitive outcomes…[The authors present extensive evidence of the need for a new type of model that incorporates the feedbacks that the Earth System has on humans, and propose a framework for future modeling that would serve as a more realistic guide for policymaking and sustainable development…” click here for more
