About The Book

Global Warming and Climate Change starts by looking at the science of climate change and its consequences. Global warming refers to the rising average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans and its projected continuation. Warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe, though the nature of these regional changes is uncertain. In a 4° C world, the limits for human adaptation are likely to be exceeded in many parts of the world while the limits for adaptation for natural system would largely be exceeded throughout the world. Future climate change and associated impacts will vary from region to region around the globe. The effects of an increase in global temperature include a rise in sea levels and a change in the amount and pattern of precipitation, as well as a probable expansion of subtropical deserts. The book provides a clear and concise account of global warming at a level suitable for the readers.
