Despite all the controversy and hype that climate change has
generated, there now exists an overwhelming body of scientific
evidence that the problem is real and that its effects are already
being felt on a global scale. Part of what makes this a volatile
and controversial issue is that it is not just confined to the
realms of the scientific community, nor does it have just one
simple, predefined solution-it has multifaceted dimensions
involving economic, sociological, political, psychological, and
personal issues, making this a topic that affects every person on
earth now and in the future.
Connecting the dots, Climate Management Issues: Economics,
Sociology, and Politics is the first book to propose a truly
comprehensive solution to effectively deal with climate change in
both the short and long term. It reaches across diverse sectors of
society to link issues in climate change management and offer new
insights into the complex interrelationships. As the author
emphasizes, climate change extends far beyond the physical sciences
to affect lifestyles, cultural values, political systems,
economics, and health.
An overview of the physical science of climate change gives
readers a firm understanding of the concepts they need for policy
and decision making, sociological applications, and community
leadership. The book then focuses on multifaceted aspects such as
international cooperation, journalistic balance, human psychology,
international policy, national security, socioeconomic impacts,
agricultural conservation, healthcare, the economics of mitigation,
climate modeling, and error amplification.
This timely volume puts on center stage those crucial ideas that
are usually overlooked, misunderstood, or lost in media
sensationalism. Enlightening and empowering readers, it looks at
the decisions that must be made to mitigate climate change problems
before irreversible damage is done.
