Understanding Climatic Change by US Committee for the Global Atmospheric Research Program.

This project is now complete! All files can be downloaded from the catalog page:
https://librivox.org/understanding-climatic-change-by-usgarp/

<em>Understanding Climatic Change - A Program for Action</em> is a 1975 report by the US Committee for the Global Atmospheric Research Program. Already at this time, it was understood that a climate change was taking place, and that it was possibly happening due to human influences. The report gives an overview of past climates, a projection of future climate; it talks about state-of-the-art simulations and lays out a plan for future research and action. (summary by Ava)
  1. How to claim a part, and "how it all works" here To find a section to record, simply look at point 5. below at the sections. All the ones without names beside them are "up for grabs." Click "Post reply" at the top left of the screen and tell us which section you would like to read (include the section number from the left-most column in the reader list, please). Read points 6. to 8. below for what to do before, during and after your recording.
  2. New to recording? Please read our Newbie Guide to Recording!
  3. Is there a deadline? We ask that you submit your recorded sections within 1-2 months of placing your claim. Please note that to be fair to the readers who have completed their sections in a timely way, if you haven't submitted your recording(s) after two months, your sections will automatically be re-opened for other readers to claim, unless you post in this thread to request an extension. Extensions will be granted at the discretion of the Book Coordinator. If you cannot do your section, for whatever reason, just let me know and it'll go back to the pool. There's no shame in this; we're all volunteers and things happen.Please do not sign up for more sections than you can complete within the two month deadline.
  4. Where do I find the text? Source text (please only read from this text!): https://archive.org/details/understandingcli00unit
  5. Please claim sections (the numbers in the first column below)! If this is your first recording, please let me know under which name or pseudonym you'd like to appear in the LibriVox catalogue. We can also link to a personal website/blog.

    Prospective Prooflisteners: Please read the Listeners Wanted FAQ before listening! Level of prooflistening requested: standard

    Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!

    Please don't read the captions to figures or tables. But do read "as seen in Table x" etc. when it appears in the text.

And we're off!
Section 0 - Foreward & Preface - PL OK.
Thank you Warren.

For sure this report is not going to be for casual listening. We already have digressions and sub-digressions, as well as dry lists of panelists. I imagine the list of acronyms the listener will need to keep track of will swell when we hit the body of the work.

I have section 4 recorded, but still need to do the editing.

I am having a good time, so I would like to claim section 3, if I may.

Thanks,

Warren
