The third edition of this introductory textbook, designed for both science students and non-science majors, has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect the latest developments in the field. It encompasses not only recent scientific advancements but also significant political developments related to climate change. With a strong emphasis on anthropogenic climate change, as in previous editions, the book provides a comprehensive and concise overview of the subject.
The first part of the book delves into the science behind modern climate change, presenting compelling evidence of Earth's warming and providing a fundamental understanding of climate physics. Key concepts such as radiative forcing, climate feedbacks, and the carbon cycle are explored and explained using basic physics and algebra, ensuring a clear and accessible presentation.
The second half of the book extends beyond the scientific realm to explore the economic and policy options available for addressing climate change. The book's objective is to equip students with the knowledge and skills necessary to engage in the public policy debate surrounding the climate crisis. It examines the economic implications of climate change, evaluates different policy approaches, and discusses the political challenges and opportunities associated with climate action.
Throughout the text, real-world examples and case studies are used to illustrate the concepts and applications discussed. These examples help students connect the theoretical knowledge to practical situations and encourage them to think critically about the complex issues surrounding climate change.
In conclusion, this third edition of the textbook serves as an invaluable resource for students seeking to understand the science, economics, and policy aspects of climate change. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date introduction to the topic, equipping students with the knowledge and tools they need to contribute to the ongoing debate and address the challenges posed by this global issue.
