There is increasing scientific evidence to suggest that humans are
gradually but certainly changing the Earth's climate. In an effort
to prevent further damage to the fragile atmosphere, and with the
belief that action is required now, the scientific community has
been prolific in its dissemination of information on climate
change. Inspired by the results of the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change's Second Assessment Report, Jepma and Munasinghe set
out to create a concise, practical and compelling approach to
climate change issues. They deftly explain the implications of
global warming, and the risks involved in attempting to mitigate
climate change. They look at how and where to start action, and
what organization is needed to be able to implement the changes.
This book represents a much needed synopsis of climate change and
its real impacts on society. It will be an essential text for
climate change researchers, policy analysts, university students
studying the environment, and anyone with an interest in climate
change issues.
