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
