Description
The climate of the Earth is always changing. As the debate over the implications of changes in the Earth's climate has grown, the
term climate change has come to refer primarily to changes we've seen over recent years and those which are predicted to be
coming, mainly as a result of human behavior. This book 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 non-specialist and the serious student.
