_Global Climate Change_ presents both practical and theoretical aspects of global climate change from across geological periods. It addresses holistic issues related to climate change and its contribution in triggering the temperature increase with a multitude of impacts on natural processes. As a result, it helps to identify the gaps between policies that have been put in place and the continuously increasing emissions. The challenges presented include habitability, biodiversity, natural resources, and human health. It is organized into information on the past, present, and future of climate change to lead to a more complete understanding and therefore effective solutions.Placing an emphasis on recent climate change research, _Global Climate Change_ helps to bring researchers and graduate students in climate science, environmental science, and sustainability up to date on the science of climate change so far and presents a baseline for how to move into the future effectively. * Addresses the variety of challenges associated with climate change, along with possible solutions * Includes suggestions for future research on climate change * Covers climate change holistically, including global and regional scales, ecosystems, agriculture, energy, and sustainability * Presents both practical and theoretical research, including coverage of climate change over various geological periods
