Welcome
Kick-Off Discussion:
The Value of Cross-Disciplinary Dialogue Now
- Initiate cross-disciplinary dialogue with the aim of making
science presentations as relevant as possible — know the audience
and their concerns
- Jim Hansen:
Air pollution and climate: Workshop scope and objectives
- Michael Scheible:
Environmental perspective: Practical relevance of this science
to decisions being made now about air quality regulations
- Todd Johnson:
Investments in developing countries: Practical relevance of this
science to decisions being made now about investments in the
developing world
Quantifying the Methane Trend and Climate Forcing
Panel Discussion
- Is it possible to achieve a global warming success story with
methane, i.e., can we achieve a real world scenario with
decreasing CH4?
What information/research is needed to better address this issue?
(Chair: R.G. Derwent)
Emission Inventories — A Challenge: Our Uncertain Knowledge of
Emissions
Quantifying the Ozone Trend and Climate Forcing
Panel Discussion
- Is it feasible to halt the growth of global tropospheric
O3 or even achieve a reduction?
What information/research is needed to better address this issue?
(Chair: Michael Prather)
