Coal use could change climate, warns National Research Council
A National Research Council report says continued fossil fuel use, especially coal, could raise atmospheric carbon dioxide four to eightfold by 2000 to 2150, causing potentially catastrophic climate changes. Dr. Roger Revelle calls for a $20 million annual research program to know the effects 50 years ahead. The study notes warmer oceans, higher sea levels, northward frost-free seasons, and shifts in corn belts if CO2 rises.
