With global temperatures rising rapidly during the past quarter
century, infrared forcing, popularly known as the greenhouse
effect, has attracted worldwide concern. This book is a concise,
college-level compendium of the research on global warming. It
surveys the scientific consensus on the issue, describes recent
findings, and also considers the arguments of skeptics who doubt
that global warming is a threat. Suggesting that the effects of
global warming can be seen in the melting of glaciers and the dying
of coral reefs, the work summarizes the potential impact on human
health and on plants and animals worldwide. Concluding with
possible solutions, the book contains one of the most comprehensive
bibliographies on the subject.
A growing field of study with a rapidly expanding literature,
global warming should be of interest to everyone on Earth. Evidence
of the greenhouse effect, due to emissions of carbon dioxide and
other trace gases, has been accumulating for a quarter century.
This book covers both research from scientific journals and
newspaper and magazine reports of present-day evidence. The book
will be a valuable resource for individuals concerned with the
environment as well as for students of environmental sciences,
meteorology, and earth sciences.
