520 $aGlobal warming and the resulting climate change is one of the most serious environmental problems facing the world community. In this book, expert, Sir John Houghton explores the scientific basis of global warming and the likely impacts of climate change on human society. He also addresses the action that could be taken by governments, by industry and by individuals to mitigate the effects.
