Climate change : observed impacts on planet earth / edited by Trevor M. Letcher.
Earths climate is always changing. As the debate over the Earths climate has grown, the term "climate change" has come to refer primarily to changes weve seen over recent years and those that are predicted to be coming, mainly as a result of human behavior. Climate Change: Observed Impacts on Planet Earth, Second Edition, serves as a broad, accessible guide to the science behind this often political and heated debate by providing scientific detail and evidence in language that is clear to both the climatologist and the non-specialist. The book contains 33 chapters on all scientific aspects of climate change, written by the worlds authority of each particular subject. It collects the latest information on all of these topics in one volume. In this way, readers can make connections between the various topics covered in the book, leading to new ways of solving problems and looking at related issues. The book also contains major references and details for further research and understanding on all issues related to climate change, giving a clear indication of a looming crisis in global warming and climate change.
