Understanding Climate Change provides readers with a concise, accessible, and holistic picture of the climate change problem, including both the scientific and human dimensions. Understanding Climate Change examines climate change as both a scientific and a public policy issue. Sarah L. Burch and Sara E. Harris explain the basics of the climate system, climate models and prediction, and human and biophysical impacts, as well as strategies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, enhancing adaptability, and enabling climate change governance. The authors examine the connections between climate change and other pressing issues, such as human health, poverty, and other environmental problems, and they explore the ways that sustainable responses to climate change can simultaneously address those issues. An effective and integrated introduction to an urgent and controversial issue, this book contains the tools needed for students, instructors, and decision-makers to become constructive participants in the human response to climate change. 0aClimatic changesvTextbooks. 4aCambios climáticos92215 7aTextbooks.2fast0(OCoLC)fst014238631 aHarris, Sara E., d1969- 926588 a7bcbcccopycatd2encipf20gy-gencatlg 2lcccBK 00102lcc40708HUaBJBbBJBcHUd2022-11-15l0oQC 903 B947u 2014p00000165687r2022-11-15 00:00:00t1w2022-11-15yBK
