A History of Climate Activities

Via the World Meteorological Organization


Origin of the climate issue

While climatology has always been recognized as an important branch of the science and practice of meteorology (Landsberg, 1945) and the basic physics of greenhouse warming has been understood for more than a century (Houghton, 2009), the present global concern with climate issues really dates from the convergence of five important scientific, technological and geopolitical developments... which shaped the transition of climatology from a descriptive to a physical science.

Post-World War II advances in basic atmospheric science that led to greatly increased understanding of the mechanisms of the large-scale circulation of the atmosphere;

Initiation of a number of new geophysical observations (especially the Mauna Loa measurements of atmospheric carbon dioxide) during the 1957 International Geophysical Year;

Recognition of the potential meteorological observing capabilities of Earth-orbiting satellites;

The advent of digital computers (GreenPolicy360: and digital databases linked to satellite earth imaging with digital multispectral scanning cameras); and

The willingness of countries, even in the developing Cold War environment, to use the institutions of the United Nations System for cooperation in addressing important global problems.


The World Climate Conferences

Via Wikipedia

1979 (GreenPolicy360: One year after the first U.S. National Climate Program Act setting forth a legislative 'comprehensive and coordinated national climate policy' actions with a series of earth/atmospheric science missions)

The First World Climate Conference was held on 12–23 February 1979 in Geneva and sponsored by the WMO.[1] It was one of the first major international meetings on climate change. Essentially a scientific conference, it was attended by scientists from a wide range of disciplines. In addition to the main plenary sessions, the conference organized four working groups to look into climate data, the identification of climate topics, integrated impact studies, and research on climate variability and change. The Conference led to the establishment of the World Climate Programme and the World Climate Research Programme. It also led to the creation of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) by WMO and UNEP in 1988.
