Climate Change: Turning Up the Heat
A. Barrie Pittock
Publisher: CSIRO Publishing
Number Of Pages: 328
Publication Date: 2005-10-01
Major new textbook explaining the science , policy, and politics of climate change and what it means for the future of humanity and planet Earth
Presents all of the key data, provides easy to follow explanations, and tackles the 'climate change sceptics' head-on
Authored by one of the world's leading climateresearchers and backed by the Climate Impact Group of the prestigious Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO)
Barrie Pittock, one of the world's leading climate researchers, argues that we need to act urgently to avoid increasingly severe climate change. This timely book sorts fact from fiction as the author examines the arguments surrounding the reality of climate change and the divergent views of greenhouse skeptics and doom-and-gloom alarmists.
Pittock looks at the controversy around global warming and other predicted changes, especially:
The scientific basis of the changes observed to date
How they relate to natural variations
Why the evidence points to larger changes later this century
Climate Change: Turning up the Heat explains how our attitudes toward risk and uncertainty - constant companions in life - influence our decision-making and, ultimately, how much we and future generations stand to lose from rapid climate change. It outlines the current concerns of the major international players and reviews the response to date, detailing national interests. Importantly, it shows there is real hope of managing climate
change and minimizing the risk of disaster if we step up efforts to develop and apply innovative technological and policy solutions.
