For anyone who needs clear, detailed, well-evidenced information about global warming, this is an outstandingly useful book. ‘. . . an excellent basis for students and non-scientists to understand climate change with its manifold impacts and consequences for humankind and for our common planet.
There are two main ways to stop the amount of greenhouse gases from increasing: we can stop adding them to the air, and we can increase the Earth’s ability to pull them out of the air. Doing both will help reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
Sir John Houghton's definitive, full colour guide to climate change answers these questions and more by providing the best and latest information available, including the latest IPCC findings. The simple, logical flow of ideas gives an invaluable grounding in the science, as well as the physical and human impacts of climate change, for ...
greenhouse gases and radiated back to the Earth, resulting in the warming of the surface known as the greenhouse effect. As we will see, trapping of terrestrial radiation by naturally occurring greenhouse gases is essential for maintaining the Earth’s surface temperature above the freezing point.
• How do the physical and digital models of the greenhouse effect reflect what is actually happening on Earth? • Explain greenhouse gases and the basics of climate change in a way that an elementary
Options for dealing with climate change fall into three broad categories: curtailing the emissions of greenhouse gases and/or taking greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere (mitigation), learning to live with the consequences (adaptation), and engineering our way around the problems that greenhouse gases produce (geoengineering).
