- briantakita 7y agoNo mention of CO2. It does not seem to mention an opinion of the underlying cause of Climate Change.
- seltzered_ 7y agoThey mention CO2. Under Priority Areas > Ecosystem Structure, Processes, and Services: "Identify and quantify the effects of increasing temperatures, precipitation extremes, and atmospheric CO2 concentration on ecosystem processes, disturbance regimes, water, food, feed, fuel, fiber, recreation, other goods, and ecosystem services, and identify critical tipping points or thresholds for change."
