The Greenhouse Effect, Climatic Change, and Ecosystems (Scope Report): Bolin, Bert, Döös, Bo R., Jäger, Jill, Warrick, Richard A.: 9780471926351: Amazon.com: Books
A group of international scientists analyze the problems of increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations in the Earth's atmosphere and the possible future climatic changes which may ensue. Serving as a basis for future discussion and development of remedies, this incisive and thought-provoking compendium considers such major issues as the quantity of CO2 likely to be released into the atmosphere as a result of fossil fuel combustion, the expected increases of other greenhouse gases that affect the Earth's radiation budget, how and when climatic changes can be detected and the projected changes in sea level resulting from global warming. These and other related issues are addressed by recognized scientists and critically reviewed by their peers.
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This was a hardback copy of the SCOPE 29 review 'The Greenhouse Effect, Climate Change and Ecosystems'. This book contains some wide-ranging research undertaken in the 1980s or earlier into the subjects mentioned in the title, and is essential reference material for anyone studying these subjects (on an international scale). Very useful for my MSc in Sustainability & Adaptation.
