Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Short Introduction to Climate Change provides a clear, balanced and well documented account of one of the most important issues of our time. It covers developments in climate science over the past 250 years and shows that recent climate change is more than the result of natural variability. It explains the difference between weather and climate by examining changes in temperature, rainfall, Arctic ice and ocean currents. It also considers the consequences of our use of fossil fuels and discusses some of the ways to reduce further global warming. Tony Eggleton avoids the use of scientific jargon to provide a reader-friendly explanation of the science of climate change. Concise but comprehensive and richly illustrated with a wealth of full-colour figures and photographs, A Short Introduction to Climate Change is essential reading for anyone who has an interest in climate science and in the future of our planet.

Download or read book An Introduction to Climate Change Economics and Policy written by Felix R. FitzRoy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-14 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2nd edition of An Introduction to Climate Change Economics and Policy explains the key scientific, economic and policy issues related to climate change in a completely up-to-date introduction for anyone interested, and students at all levels in various related courses, including environmental economics, international development, geography, politics and international relations. FitzRoy and Papyrakis highlight how economists and policymakers often misunderstand the science of climate change, underestimate the growing threat to future civilization and survival and exaggerate the costs of radical measures needed to stabilize the climate. In contrast, they show how direct and indirect costs of fossil fuels – particularly the huge health costs of local pollution – actually exceed the investment needed for transition to an almost zero carbon economy in two or three decades using available technology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le changement climatique touche tous les pays de tous les continents. Il perturbe les économies nationales et affecte les vies. Les conditions météorologiques changent, le niveau de la mer s'élève et les phénomènes météorologiques deviennent plus extrêmes. Bien que les émissions de gaz à effet de serre devraient diminuer d'environ 6 % en 2020 en raison des interdictions de voyager et des ralentissements économiques résultant de la pandémie de COVID-19, cette amélioration n'est que temporaire. Le changement climatique n'est pas en pause. Une fois que l'économie mondiale commencera à se remettre de la pandémie, les émissions devraient revenir à des niveaux plus élevés. Pour sauver des vies et des moyens de subsistance, il faut agir de toute urgence pour faire face à la fois à la pandémie et à l'urgence climatique. Voici l'introduction descriptive du changement climatique.
Download or read book Introduction to Modern Climate Change written by Andrew E. Dessler and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-26 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third edition of this introductory textbook for both science students and non-science majors has been brought completely up-to-date. It reflects recent scientific progress in the field, as well as advances in the political arena around climate change. As in previous editions, it is tightly focussed on anthropogenic climate change. The first part of the book concentrates on the science of modern climate change, including evidence that the Earth is warming and a basic description of climate physics. Concepts such as radiative forcing, climate feedbacks, and the carbon cycle are discussed and explained using basic physics and algebra. The second half of the book goes beyond the science to address the economics and policy options to address climate change. The book's goal is for a student to leave the class ready to engage in the public policy debate on the climate crisis.

Download or read book Introduction to Climate Change Management written by John C. Shideler and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-17 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides climate students with the basic scientific background to climate change management. Students will learn about international and national approaches to climate change management defined in voluntary initiatives as well as in national law and international agreements. The book describes mitigation and adaptation measures, monitoring and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions, and strategies for achieving a low-carbon economy, including green finance. This book combines theory and practice, introducing students to the conceptual background but also taking a professional and technical approach with case studies and low carbon toolkits. Filled with didactic elements such as concept schemes, tables, charts, figures, examples, as well as questions and answers at the end of the chapters, this book aims to engage critical thinking and the discussion of important topics of our days. The low-carbon strategy is one of the answers to limiting the greenhouse effect on our planet. This strategy is to minimize the overall carbon consumption in the life cycle of the products we consume, from the extraction of raw materials to the end of their life. The future is being built today. This book will guide its readers along the path of imagining and realizing a low-carbon economy.”

Download or read book Climate Justice written by Dominic Roser and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2016-09-19 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The link between justice and climate change is becoming increasingly prominent in public debates on climate policy. This clear and concise philosophical introduction to climate justice addresses the hot topic of climate change as a moral challenge. Using engaging everyday examples the authors address the core arguments by providing a comprehensive and balanced overview of this heated debate, enabling students and practitioners to think critically about the subject area and to promote discussion on questions such as: Why do anything in the face of climate change? How much do we owe our descendants – a better world, or nothing at all? How should we distribute the burden of climate action between industrialized and developing countries? Should I adopt a green lifestyle even if no one else makes an effort? Which means of reducing emissions are permissible? Should we put hope in technological solutions? Should we re-design democratic institutions for more effective climate policy? With chapter summaries, illustrative examples and suggestions for further reading, this book is an ideal introduction for students in political philosophy, applied ethics and environmental ethics, as well as for practitioners working on one of the most urgent issues of our time.

Book excerpt: "Climate Change: A Very Short Introduction examines the science, the history and the politics of climate change. Drawing on the latest science from the recent IPCC reports, this VSI examines the potential catastrophic impacts of climate change in the future. Global awareness of climate change has grown very rapidly, as shown by the wide support for campaigners like Greta Thunberg and groups like Extinction Rebellion, and the declaration by many governments that we are now in a climate emergency. It is a threat that forces us to examine the whole basis of modern society. This VSI explores the geopolitical, economic, technological, and social solutions to climate change, and argues for new modes of thinking in tackling the climate crisis"-- Provided by publisher.
