Kevin E. Trenberth emphasizes the fundamental role of energy flows
in the climate system and anthropogenic climate change. The
distribution of heat, or more generally, energy, is the main
determinant of weather patterns in the atmosphere and their
impacts. The topics addressed cover many facets of climate and the
climate crisis. These include the diurnal cycle; the seasons;
energy differences between the continents and the oceans, the poles
and the tropics; interannual variability such as Nino; natural
decadal variability; and ice ages. Human-induced climate change
rides on and interacts with all of these natural phenomena, and the
result is an unevenly warming planet and changing weather extremes.
The book emphasizes the need to not only slow or stop climate
change, but also to better prepare for it and build resilience.
Students, researchers, and professionals from a wide range of
backgrounds will benefit from this deeper understanding of climate
change.
