Climate is not only a natural science issue, but also involves different aspects such as politics, economy, and law, and is even closely related to human health and the future of the earth.
In this book, Mark Maslin, Professor of Earth System Science at University College London, examines many issues related to the global climate system, exploring and explaining the different factors that control Earth's climate.
How has climate evolved over billions of years?
How do the atmosphere and oceans distribute the energy reaching the Earth from the Sun?
How are climate and weather related, and what are their differences?
The book also introduces the extreme climate problems that humans are currently facing, such as droughts, heat waves, and floods, and proposes effective measures that can be taken to deal with climate change.
Reader comments
In middle school, the geography knowledge we learned was too superficial, and this "Climate" book can just make up for our lack of knowledge about climate. The author of this book provides us with relevant popular science knowledge in very easy-to-understand language.
I particularly enjoyed the section on the historical evolution of climate change and its future implications. Moreover, the author also mentioned many measures to combat climate change, which I found very inspiring. The knowledge points in the book are very clear and easy to understand. I think it is very suitable for beginners like me. Recommend!
