Global Warming: The Hard Science presents a comprehensive,
qualitatively rigorous, and critical discussion of the science
underlying the global warming issue. The major processes in the
climate system needed to understand projected human-induced
climatic change are presented in detail. Observational systems used
to monitor changes in the climate system and the ways in which the
raw data are analyzed in order to produce estimates of current
trends are also critically reviewed. The author discusses the
hierarchy of computer models used to project changes in the carbon
cycle, in climate, and in sea level and examines the physical
principles underlying the greenhouse effect and projected warming.
The text also presents a detailed discussion of the carbon cycle,
of climate sensitivity, and of projected patterns of climatic
change through time. Sea level rise and issues of risk and
potential surprises are also critically assessed. Emphasis is
placed throughout on developing an intuitive understanding of those
results that do not depend on the details of any one computer
simulation model. A series of boxes illustrate the key points
through step-by-step calculations.
