Global climate change - rapid, substantial and human induced - may
have radical consequences for life on earth. The problem is a
complex one, however, demanding a multi-disciplinary approach. A
simple cost-benefit analysis cannot capture the essentials, nor can
the issue be reduced to an emissions reduction game, as the Kyoto
process tries to do. It is much more sensible to adopt an
integrative approach, which reveals that global climate change
needs to be considered as a spider in a web, a triggering factor
for a range of other, related problems - land use changes, water
supply and demand, food supply, energy supply, human health, air
pollution, etc. But an approach like this, which takes account of
all items of knowledge, known and uncertain, does not produce
clear-cut, final and popular answers. It does provide useful
insights, however, which will allow comprehensive and effective
long-term climate strategies to be put into effect. Climate Change:
An Integrated Perspective will appeal to a broad spectrum of
readers. It is a useful source for the climate-change
professionals, such as policy makers and analysts, natural and
social scientists. It is also suitable for educationalists,
students and indeed anyone interested in the fascinating world of
multidisciplinary research underlying our approach to this global
change issue.
