Studying Weather and Climates Solar Variability and Planetary Climates Temperate Fruit Crops in Warm Climates Exploring Geography in a Changing World Climates have changed throughout Earth's history and will continue to change indefinitely. While some changes are brief, lasting only a few decades, others can plunge much of the planet into an icy wasteland or a steaming tropical jungle for hundreds, thousands, or even millions of years. Many factors contribute to both short- and long-term changes within the atmosphere, and scientists continue to study the agents that impact the changing conditions of Earth's climate. Changing Climates helps readers gain a better understanding of climate and the global warming issue by explaining how the atmosphere works, how and why climates have changed in the past, and the consequences of climate change.
Provides an overview of global warming in the context of the periodic rises and falls in the Earth's temperature over history, examines the effects of human activity, and explores how these effects have been exaggerated and how they may be controlled.
