Written by leading experts from around the world, these 25 invited chapters provide comprehensive information about the emission of greenhouse gases and climate change. Chapters examine the issues from three standpoints: basic science and vulnerability assessment; modelling and prediction; and reducing or adapting to the negative impacts on humankind and the ecosystem.
Topics include:
role of greenhouse gas emissions on our ecosystems
impact of greenhouse gas emissions on climate change
temperature and precipitation trends influenced by climate change
modelling tools to diagnose climate change and identify uncertainty in climate change modelling
strategies to mitigate climate change effects
Practicing engineers, environmental managers, and government officials will consult this book as an essential guide to help mitigate the effects of climate change.
