Additionally, he writes, the climate scientists also synchronize their efforts to block certain papers from being published, or even eliminate a journal (Climate Research) from a de facto list of peer reviewed journals .

The World Climate Research Programme and the International Geosphere Biosphere Programme must be seen as the main mechanisms by which the scientific community worldwide is mobilized to provide improved understanding of the climate system.

There has been a huge amount of research into the ways that humans cause climate change, and how we can reduce it.

The measures included research and outreach activities, such as improvement of monitoring and forecasting systems and promoting awareness of climate change impacts.

Similarly, the concept of using geo engineering to respond to climate change has moved from science fiction to an area of serious research.
