Originally published in 1995, this comprehensive book offers a balanced and insightful examination of the complex interplay between climate change and society. Drawing upon a wealth of diverse sources, it provides a comprehensive perspective on the various ways in which climatic shifts can impact individuals, communities, and the global ecosystem. The questions addressed in this text remain as pertinent today as they were when the book was first published. It delves into the crucial debate surrounding the extent to which governments should implement costly and politically unpopular measures to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. It also explores the potential consequences of the ongoing warming trend, including the dire predictions made by scientists. Rather than assuming a background in science, the book employs a rich array of case studies drawn from diverse regions worldwide to contextualize scientific principles and make them accessible to a broad audience. This makes it an invaluable resource for those embarking on their journey of understanding climate change for the first time.
