Global climate changes occur naturally over long periods of time, but recent measurements and theories indicate that man is accelerating these changes as a result of industrialization. Since these changes may be irreversible, it is essential that they be predictable and that society adjusts to avoid possible catastrophic consequences. Support is being provided for a national workshop to identify the engineering research needed to ensure the implications of decisions made are fully understood. Attendees will be invited from all engineering disciplines to become better informed on this multi-disciplinary problem, and to contribute their expertise to a rational and orderly response. The workshop on the engineering response to global climate change will be held in June, 1990. Proceedings will be disseminated to help guide future research efforts.

全球气候变化是长期自然发生的， 但最近的测量和理论表明， 正在加速这些变化， 产业化 由于这些变化可能是不可逆转的， 至关重要是，它们必须是可预测的， 以避免可能的灾难性后果。 支持 正在为一个国家讲习班提供资金， 工程研究需要确保的影响， 做出的决定得到充分理解。 与会者将 邀请来自所有工程学科的人， 了解这一多学科问题，并作出贡献， 利用他们的专业知识做出合理有序的反应 全球气候工程响应研讨会 变更将于1990年6月举行。 议事录将 以帮助指导未来的研究工作。
