Editat de Trevor Letcher
en Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2026
Climate Change: Causes, Consequences and Ways of Overcoming Global Warming focuses on the underlying cause of global warming and investigates the other possible causes of global warming. This book will also evaluate ways to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. This book will include a discussion on atmospheric chemistry and the effect of CO2 in the atmosphere, the influence of ozone on global warming, a history of the earth’s climate, solar radiation changes and global warming, the effect of space weather on global warming, agricultural practices and global warming, and the effect of the Earth’s movements on global warming.

  • Gives an underlying explanation of the root causes of climate change through an in-depth look at atmospheric chemistry and the role of CO2 in the heating of the planet
  • Written by world experts in the field of climate change, giving readers the most up-to-date knowledge on each topic
  • Evaluates ways of reducing human reliance on fossil fuels
