Because there is an immediate need for policy decisions on how to prevent or adapt to climate change and how to allocate scarce funds for climate research, we need to move beyond isolated studies of the various parts of the problem. Analysis frameworks are needed that incorporate our knowledge about precursors to, processes of, and consequences from climate change. This framework also needs to represent the reliability with which the various pieces of the climate puzzle are understood and be able to propagate uncertainties through the analysis and to reflect them in the conclusions. 15 refs.
