Global Warming

This is an informative, up to date, readable, and entertaining book about the predicted impacts of global warming and the possible surprises that could be waiting for us in the near future. It draws on material from the recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a huge collaborative study drawing together current thinking on the subject from experts in a range of disciplines, and presents the findings of the Panel for a general readership for the first time. The book will also discuss the politics of global warming and what we can do now to adapt to climate change and mitigate its worst effects.
