Abstract: Climate change management is a global challenge that requires social science as much as it requires natural science. We provide a brief introduction to the physical science of climate change, written to provide essential background for economists and other social scientists. We also highlight some key areas in which economists--including those studying macroeconomics, political economy, and development--are in a unique position to help climate science advance.
