Opis: Global Warming in the 21st Century 3 vols - Bruce E. Johansen, B Johansen

Evidence of rising temperatures, melting ice, rising sea levels, and damage to flora and fauna on land and in the oceans has been accumulating for several decades. Scientific bodies around the world have traced this trend to increasing levels of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, most of it attributable to the consumption of fossil fuels. Despite the evidence, political debate rages about the existence of global warming. "Global Warming in the 21st Century" provides a detailed review of the accumulating evidence for global warming, from the Arctic and Antarctic to the tropics, with special attention to processes that will accelerate warming as the century progresses. The book also explains scientific theories on the subject that sometimes conflict with popular assumptions. This three-volume work proposes detailed solutions, including a worldwide overhaul in energy sources. "The work the world has been waiting for. Scientifically authoritative, fully comprehensive but excellently written, this the ultimate work on the ultimate threat. It has long been established that global warming presents the greatest threat ever to human and natural survival. Well, Global Warming in the 21st Century presents the definitive guide to the nature of this threat and what we can do to avert it." - Mark Lynas, author of High Tide: The Truth about Our Climate Crisis "Of all the reference books on global warming, none is as thorough, thoughtful and easy to navigate as Bruce Johansen's series. His grasp of the science is as meticulous as his presentation is lucid. Combining clear reporting of the impacts of a warming atmosphere with ground-level descriptions from people affected by these ominous changes, Johansen has provided a lasting and invaluable resource about a subject that will only continue to attract more and more attention in the coming years." - Ross Gelbspan, author of The Heat Is On and Boiling Point"
