Increasing levels of atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHGs) are triggering changes in our climate. In 2013, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change1 reported new and stronger evidence confirming that most warming observed over the last 50years was attributable to anthropogenic causes. Climate change may impact society and ecosystems in a broad variety of ways.2,3 There are conflicting perspectives about how to deal with the extent of its negative impacts. Dealing with these impacts requires countries around the world to reduce their atmospheric GHG emissions,4 which in turn involves an enormous investment of capital and human resources, and a radical transformation of production systems and consumptive behavior.1,5 Decision makers are discussing strategies to reduce GHG emissions. However, some strategies are not well received, and nothing is agreed upon by all nations.6 In order to resolve this conflict, the world needs reliable tools to inform decision-makers, international negotiators, and public opinion about climate-change adaptation and mitigation management options.
