Climate Change - The Science, Impacts and Solutions - 2nd Edition
A. Barrie Pittock Climate
It is widely accepted in the scientific community that climate change is
a reality, and that changes are happening with increasing rapidity. In
this second edition, leading climate researcher Barrie Pittock revisits
the effects that global warming is having on our planet, in light of
ever-evolving scientific research. Presenting all sides of the
arguments about the science and possible remedies, Pittock examines the
latest analyses of climate change, such as new and alarming observations
regarding Arctic sea ice, the recently published IPCC Fourth Assessment
Report, and the policies of the new Australian Government and how they
affect the implementation of climate change initiatives. New material
focuses on massive investments in large-scale renewables, such as the
kind being taken up in California, as well as many smaller-scale
activities in individual homes and businesses which are being driven by
both regulatory and market mechanisms. The book includes extensive
endnotes with links to ongoing and updated information, as well as some
new illustrations. While the message is clear that climate change is
here (and in some areas, might already be having disastrous effects),
there is still hope for the future, and the ideas presented here will
inspire people to take action. Climate Change: The Science, Impacts and
Solutions is an important reference for students in environmental or
social sciences, policy makers, and people who are genuinely concerned
about the future of our environment.
