Global Warming (eBook)

Climate change and global warming are well up on the current political agenda. There are urgent questions everyone is asking: are human activities altering the climate? Is global warming a reality? How big are the changes likely to be? Will there be more serious disasters; will they be more frequent? Can we adapt to climate change, or can we change the way we do things so that we can slow down the change or even prevent it occurring?

Because the Earth’s climate system is highly complex, and because human behavior and reaction to change is even more complex, providing answers to these questions is an enormous challenge to the world’s scientists. As with many scientific problems only partial answers are available, but our knowledge is evolving rapidly, and the world’s scientists have been addressing the problems with much energy and determination.
