Klappentext zu „Climate Change: The Science of Global Warming and Our Energy Future “
Climate Change is geared toward a variety of students and general readers who seek the real science behind global warming. Exquisitely illustrated, the volume introduces the basic science underlying both the natural progress of climate change and the effect of human activity on the deteriorating health of the planet. Straightforward and even-handed, noted author Edmond A. Mathez synthesizes the work of leading scholars in climatology and related fields. His book concludes with an extensive chapter on energy production, anchoring the text in economic and technological realities and suggesting ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
