Global Warming - The Complete Briefing (Hardcover, 2Rev ed)

Global warming is a real and serious threat to the environment and, consequently, to our world community. In this second edition of his highly-acclaimed book, author Houghton examines the science and the politics of this frightening phenomenon. Succinct, lucid, and comprehensive, this is the definitive guide to global warming. Houghton explores the scientific basis for global warming and the likely impacts of climate change on the environment and on political structures. He addresses the actions that governments, industry, and individuals can take to mitigate the effects. The second edition features the findings of the 1995 IPCC and, to facilitate its use in the classroom, questions at the end of chapters. Global Warming: the Complete Briefing is a clear and concise guide for lay people, students, earth scientists, and anyone who wants a jargon-free look at the implications of climate change.
