Changes in climate are driven by natural and human-induced perturbations of the Earth's energy balance. These climate drivers or "forcings" include variations in greenhouse gases, aerosols, land use, and many other factors. This book reviews the knowledge of climate forcings and recommends critical research needed to improve understanding.
