In recent years climate change has become recognised as the foremost
environmental problem of the twenty-first century. Not only will
climate change potentially affect the multibillion dollar energy
strategies of countries worldwide, but it also could seriously affect
many species, including our own. A fascinating introduction to the
subject, this textbook provides a broad review of past, present and
likely future climate change from the viewpoints of biology, ecology
and human ecology. It will be of interest to a wide range of people,
from students in the life sciences who need a brief overview of the
basics of climate science, to atmospheric science, geography, and
environmental science students who need to understand the biological
and human ecological implications of climate change. It will also be a
valuable reference for those involved in environmental monitoring,
conservation, policy-making and policy lobbying.
