Concern over the potential impacts of future climate change on both natural and human systems drives research into the enhanced greenhouse effect. There are two fundamental questions that need to be addressed by this research: whether atmospheric pollution currently being emitted, and likely to be emitted in the coming decades, will result in dangerous climate-related impacts for future generations, and if so, what action should be taken to limit that danger.
