Climate by Andrew Goudie
This volume is one in a series of 24, all attempting to forecast the future, over the next 50 years, in a particular area of study, including sociology, economics, politics, geography and technology.Climate has changed repeatedly during the three million years in which humans have occupied the Earth. Ice cap expansion and contraction, desrtification etc. Andrew Goudie shows that these changes are repetitive and will continue. Howeverin recent decades humans have started to modify global climates through changingthe gas content of the atmosphere and modifying the Earth's vegetative cover. Goudie argues that even minimal alteration of climate could have monumental consequences. We face: increased exposure to disease, drought hazards, reduced agricultural productivity. All these issues crucial to the Earth's future are covered in this thought-provoking book. |
