Global Environmental Change provides a balanced overview of the problems associated with global warming. Commencing with a chapter on the evidence for global warming presented by Sir John Houghton, the book then goes on to discuss the many problems associated with air pollution. Subsequent chapters cover rising sea levels, the effect of climate change on human health and the role of environmental performance on industry,Issues in environmental science and technology ;17.PollutionClimatic changesEnvironmental protectionPollution.Climatic changes.Environmental protection.363.73874Hester R.
