Climate change: Lessons from a distant monsoon
Jonathan T. Overpeck1 & Julia E. Cole1
Abstract
The burden of global warming falls most heavily on the developing world. A connection forged between the Indian Ocean climate, Asian monsoons and drought in Indonesia makes for an especially bleak outlook for that nation.
As Earth's climate continues to warm, understanding the dimensions of our vulnerability to present and future changes is crucial if we are to plan and adapt. Studies of palaeoclimate have an important role here in helping us to uncover the full range of past climate variability, and so avoid future surprises.
