Contemporary Climatic Issues and Challenges: A Multidisciplinary Approach - HARDCOVER

Maya Yadav The world mostly agrees that something needs to be done about climate change and global warming. Contemporary climate change is dominated by human influences, which are now large enough to exceed the bounds of natural variability. Although there has been progress in monitoring and understanding climate change, there remain many scientific, technical, and institutional impediments to precisely planning for, adapting to, and mitigating the effects of climate change. There is still considerable uncertainty about the rates of change that can be expected, but it is clear that these changes will be increasingly manifested in important and tangible ways. The book deals with all these aspects of climate change and reflects that serious efforts are required for making a better tomorrow.
