Description: Few people today
are unaware of the far-reaching effects of global environmental change, and it
is now generally accepted that human activities are the root cause of the
changes in climate. Global Environmental Change provides a balanced overview of
the problems associated with global warming.
Commencing with
a chapter on the evidence for global warming presented by Sir John Houghton,
the book then goes on to discuss the many problems associated with air
pollution. Subsequent chapters cover rising sea levels, the effect of climate
change on human health and the role of environmental performance in industry.
This readable and factually detailed book will have wide appeal but will be of
particular interest to environmental scientists, industrial managers,
policy-makers and students.
