Greenhouse Earth Annika Nilsson Climate change has become one of
the major issues on the international environmental agenda.
Predictions of a rising sea and devastating droughts have alerted
politicians worldwide to the risks of continued increases in the
emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. But to
change the direction of development is not an easy process. A
myriad of political decisions has to be made on a national as well
as international level. Those decisions need to be based on facts.
The questions are: How big a problem is climate change really? How
much do the scientists know about what is in store? Since the
greenhouse effect and global warming were first brought up on the
international agenda of environmental problems, many efforts have
been made to evaluate critically the scientific base for any
predictions about climate change. This book is an attempt to
capture the messages in those reports to give the non--scientific
reader a picture of the different factors that scientists consider
in their scenarios of the future. The decisions called for in a
global climate convention have to be made by policy makers
worldwide, but the basis for those decisions is the picture painted
by scientists.
