Researchers find climate change already delivering severe impacts

A review of more than 100 studies by two researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, has shown that the social and economic impacts of current climate are often severe.

Results of the review, by Tamma Carleton, a Ph.D. student in agricultural and resource economics, and Solomon Hsiang, chancellor’s associate professor of public policy, are published this week in the journal Science, a publication of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).
