Debates about global warming have tended to be rather intense. The contributions to this volume have, however, moved beyond the rather frustrating debates about causes of global warming, and have sought instead to improve our understanding of such issues as the consequences of any warming for agricultural and terrestrial productivity, the potential contributions of carbon sequestration to reducing global warming, and the effects of mitigation efforts expected at the farm level. We are offered a cornucopia of scientific analyses and evidence on these issues, together with some constructive debate.
