In a 900-page report, “Third National Climate Assessment Report,” released by the Chinese government, 550 scientists and experts assess how China is, and will be, affected by global warming. The report is based on more than 1,000 scientific studies conducted in China, including those of its top climate scientists. Forecasting how fast future rises will be is difficult, partly because much rests on the future of the polar ice sheets. The report states that the country will experience earlier and shorter growing seasons and that changes in agricultural practises and innovation in irrigation technology will be needed.
