The accelerating pace of global warming is provoking anxiety that the Earth is reaching an ominous threshold, a point of no return. Within a decade or two, various feedbacks may take greenhouse warming past any human ability to contain or reverse it. Carbon-dioxide levels in the atmosphere are rising rapidly, fed by increasing fossil-fuel use world-wide, melting permafrost, slash-and-burn agriculture in Indonesia and Brazil, increasing wildfires, as well as rapid industrialization using dirty coal in China and India. Global warming may well become the most urgent problem the world faces during the 21st Century . Natural variations are no longer the major contribution (or forcing) in Earth's climate. Human contributions became the major factor about 1950. This book has been prepared as a reference for high-school students, but it also will be useful for anyone who wants a compact, plain-spoken basic guide to the science of global warming. Global Warming 101 begins with an examination of basic issues, followed by important controversies in the field. The book then describes scientific issues related to melting ice, rising seas, and effects on plants and animals, as well as human health. Global Warming 101 concludes with consideration of possible solutions. Global Warming 101 combines a survey of the science of global warming with reporting from around the world, from sinking Pacific islands and thawing Arctic permafrost, which indicate that significant global warming already has begun.

Tackling the issue of global warming head-on for a teen audience, this acclaimed book examines the science behind it, the history of climate change on our planet, and the ways in which humans have affected the current crisis we face. It's Getting Hot in Here takes an in-depth look at the facts: how we got where we are today as a planet, how we know that the climate is changing, and what can be done in order to avoid making the situation even worse. We are changing our global environment—but it's not too late to take action now to ensure a brighter future for us all. The acclaimed author Bridget Heos takes a hard look at the facts surrounding global warming—tackling history, science, politics, and economics, while also providing hope that each of us can be the change that makes a difference in the world climate crisis. "Well-researched and comprehensible, it’s an alarming, but never alarmist, examination of a critical topic." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)

Global warming has surfaced as the political issue of the nineties. Most of the world's climate scientists concur that global warming has become an undeniable reality, over 60% of Americans believe that it is something to worry about, and more than 70% think that the United States should take a leading role in combating this challenge to the environment. Yet the United States Government remains reluctant to take the steps necessary to begin treating this devastating environmental problem. Written by the world's leading scientists and energy analysts, and commissioned by Greenpeace as a shadow document to the finding of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), Global Warming: The Greenpeace Report presents the most authoritative, accessible, and up-to-date report on the subject. The study provides clear, straight-forward explanations of what global warming is, and how the greenhouse effect works. The contributors--Steven Schneider, David Schimmell, George Woodwell, Amory Lovins, Carlo LaPorta, and Michael Walsh among them--explain the scientific data, assess its implications, and outline the policies that governments must implement in order to escape what could be the most serious threat our planet has ever faced. They address the ecological trauma, human health problems, and physical devastation resulting from global warming, and also demonstrate how we can cut greenhouse emissions without significantly altering the American lifestyle. Unlike other studies on the subject, the Report advocates policies that are consistent with the scientist's warnings. Describing the environmental imperatives and changes crucial to ending the greenhouse threat, Global Warming: The Greenpeace Report will be essential reading for policy-makers; teachers and students of environmental studies, political science, and government; and anyone who is concerned about the future of our planet.

This book stems from a major international essay competition on regional responses to global climate change. First prize in the competition was awarded to Daniel Botkin, author of Discordant Harmonies (Oxford, 1989). The essays selected for this book cover developed and underdeveloped countries alike, and provide valuable background information for policy makers, businesses, and the industries most likely to be affected by global warming. The book is divided into three parts. Contributions in the first part focus on the concept of a regional approach to climate change and the methods best suited to studying its impacts. The second section illustrates the variety of impacts that regions will experience as a result of climate change; the third describes policies designed to deal with climate change. Written by some of the most knowledgeable experts in the field, these writings will interest all policymakers and research analysts involved in the ongoing debate on global warming.
