abstract

In 2007, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) published its 
fourth assessment reports summarizing recent global climate change and 
projections for the next century. This article reviews the basics of climate 
science and modeling, highlights the conclusions of the IPCC report, and 
identifies the well-understood aspects of climate change that will be 
important for California agriculture and society as a whole. Predicted 
impacts to California include increased flooding and reduced water 
availability, higher sea levels, worse air pollution and fewer chilling hours 
for important crops.
