Abstract
Climate variability and change have a major influence on the social and natural environments, and major climate research programmes have been aimed at determining the extent to which climate can be predicted, and to determine the extent of the human influence on climate. A further aim of the programmes is to achieve a deeper and more quantitative understanding of the role of human perturbations to biogeochemical cycles in altering the coupled climate system, and vice versa.
