摘要
Thy physics of climate and of climate changes associated with increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere are briefly presented. Construction of a "toy model" of the climate is discussed. Possibilities for reducing carbon dioxide emissions are indicated. Degrees of uncertainty characterizing predictions of climate responses to anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions are presented. (C) 1999 American Association of Physics Teachers.
