Overview"Society today may be more vulnerable to global-scale, long-term climate change than ever before. Even without any human influence, past records show that the climate will continue to undergo considerable change over the decades and centuries. Measures for adpation and mitigation will call for policy decisions based on a scientific foundation. Better understanding and prediction of climate variations can be achieved most efficiently through a nationally-recognised ""dec-cen"" science plan. This text articulates the scientific issues that must be addressed to effectively advance toward that understanding and outlines the necessary data collection and modelling."
