Klappentext

Decades of industrial growth and deforestation has resulted in many hazardous environmental effects like ozone depletion, global warming, etc. Climate change is a result of increasing global warming levels. One of the major causes of global warming is the emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Global warming can cause significant impacts such as expansion of deserts, rising sea levels, retreat of glaciers, increase in global temperatures, etc. Extreme weather phenomena such as droughts, floods, heat waves, heavy snowfall, etc. can also occur as a result of global warming. This may result in ocean acidification, species extinction, threat to food security, biodiversity loss, among others. This book aims to present the causes and effects of global warming with respect to climate change in a detailed manner while also highlighting the modern methods to control its impacts. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of difficult concepts of global warming as easy and informative as possible for the reader. Researchers and students in this field will be assisted by this book.
