摘要、提要註:	The climate of the Earth is always changing.� As the debate over the implications of changes in the Earth's climate has grown, the term climate change has come to�refer primarily�to changes we've seen over recent years and those which are predicted to be coming, mainly as a result of human behavior.�This book serves as a broad, accessible guide to the science behind this often political and heated debate by providing scientific detail and evidence in language that is clear to both the non-specialist and the serious student. * provides all the scientific evidence for and possible causes of climate change in one book * written by expert scientists working in the field * logical, non-emotional conclusions * a source book for the latest findings on climate change.
