Our understanding of climate and its role in human affairs has
changed markedly over recent years, as have climate observation
systems and modelling capabilities. Reliance on recent weather
statistics to provide a guide for future climate is no longer
viable. Evidence of human-induced climate change has placed climate
high on political and the media agendas. This text provides an
account of what we know about climate and changing climates at the
end of the 20th century. Integrating the historical and
geographical dimensions of climate, the crucial link between past
and future climatic conditions is examined through the geographical
lens of the British Isles. Climates of past ages are reconstructed
and full descriptions of the present climate are illustrated by
graphs, maps and images. Important climate data sets are provided.
Marking the 25th anniversary of the Climatic Research Unit, this
book distils much of the leading research of present and recent
members of the unit and presents a view of climatic change and
prospects for the next millenium and beyond.
