[edit] OUR SIMMERING PLANET
Heatwaves in Delhi - hurricane Mitch - tornadoes in the US - floods in the UK - have all pointed to unprecedented severity and frequency of weather conditions. What is happening to the world's weather? This book takes the reader through the science and the politics of the situation.
Heat waves in Delhi and Athens, Hurricane Mitch in Central America and tornadoes in the USA. Floods in Britain and China. All unprecedented in severity. Unprecedented in frequency. What is happening to the world's weather? What are the world's governments doing about it? This book takes us through the science, and behind the politics, to explore: * Climate instability: do we need to worry? * Global warming: what is the evidence? * Increases in average temperatures - what impact? * What can be done? What are scientists recommending? * Why are our politicians failing to settle on effective action? This book makes clear for the general reader what is at stake; the difficulties of concerted action; the varying concerns of countries North and South; and the urgent necessity for all of us to press our politicians to take climate instability seriously.
