{"product_id":"climate-change-isbn-9781118793060","title":"Climate Change","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book introduces climate change fundamentals and essential concepts that reveal the extent of the damage, the impacts felt around the globe, and the innovation and leadership it will take to bring an end to the status quo. Emphasizing peer-reviewed literature, this text details the impact of climate change on land and sea, the water cycle, human communities, the weather, and humanity’s collective future. Coverage of greenhouse gases, oceanic and atmospheric processes, Pleistocene and Holocene paleoclimate, sea levels, and other fundamental topics provide a deep understanding of key mechanisms, while discussion of extreme weather, economic impacts, and resource scarcity reveals how climate change is already impacting people’s lives—and will continue to do so at an increasing rate for the foreseeable future. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Evidence of Climate Change 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter Summary 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eClimate Change is Real and it is Dangerous 6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Earth System is Changing 12\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReliable Sources of Climate Change Information 19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHow Unusual is the Present Warming?
