Workshop 5

“Anthropogenic Climate Destabilization: A Worst-case Scenario”

September 12–14, 2008 | Bellevue, Washington

PURPOSE | AGENDA SUMMARY

Foundation For the Future's workshop “Anthropogenic Climate Destabilization: A Worst-case Scenario” took into consideration the IPCC reports and other research conclusions leading to assessments of worst-case scenarios. Those assessments project the worst case to 2030; a few of the studies project the worst case to 2050. The purpose in this workshop was to look at the worst case beyond those “short-term” assessments – to the end of this century and to the next several centuries. Climate experts from all over the world were invited to participate in this important workshop. Attendees were:
