Abstract: Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide and other "greenhouse" gases have the potential to substantially warm climates worldwide. While the timing and magnitude of global warming is uncertain, scientists on the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) predict that average global temperature may increase by 1.5- 4.5³C (2.7-8.1³F) over the next 100 years. Changes in precipitation will likely accompany any changes in temperature. However, the magnitude, and even direction of these changes is difficult to predict with much confidence on a regional basis. The agricultural sector may be profoundly affected by future changes in temperature, precipitation, solar radiation, and carbon dioxide concentrations. Over the past decade, there has been a growing body of research examining the potential impacts of climate change on agriculture. The purpose of this paper is to report and summarize recent research on the potential economic impacts of global climate change on agriculture. To that end, an annotative bibliography of articles is presented in this paper.
