The peer-reviewed report incorporates and builds on the Northeast Climate Impacts Assessment's (NECIA) 2006 study. NECIA is a collaboration between the Union of Concerned Scientists and at team of more than 50 scientists and economists. The report uses state-of-the-art tools to assess how global warming will affect nine states in the Northeast United States following two different paths: A higher emissions path with continued rapid growth in global warming pollution, and a lower emissions path with greatly reduced heat trapping emissions. It also details what individuals, businesses and governments can do today to reduce emissions.
The goal of the assessment is to provide opinion leaders, policymakers, and the public with the best available science as we make informed choices about reducing our heat-trapping emissions and managing the changes we cannot avoid. NECIA, UCS, 2007. 140pp.
