Climate change, or "global warming," is a complex problem with far-reaching social and economic impacts. Climate Change in the 21st Century brings together all the major aspects of global warming to give a state of the art description of our collective understanding of this phenomenon and what can be done to counteract it on both the local and global scale. Stewart Cohen and Melissa Waddell explain and clarify the different ways of approaching the study of climate change and the fundamental ideas behind them. From a history of climate change research to current attempts to mitigate its impact such as the Kyoto Protocol and carbon trading, they explore key ideas from many fields of study, outlining the environmental and human dimensions of global warming. Climate Change in the 21st Century goes beyond climate modeling to investigate interdisciplinary attempts to measure and forecast the complex impacts of future climate change on communities, how we assess their vulnerability, and how we plan to adapt our society. The book explores the impact of climate change on different ecosystems as well as what the social and economic understanding of this phenomenon can tell us; it also links discussions of climate change with the global discourse of sustainable development. 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aGlobal warming 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aGlobal warming. 676 $a304.2/5 700 $aCohen$b Stewart J$0876634 701 $aWaddell$b Melissa W$0876635 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910461592603321 996 $aClimate change in the 21st century$91957492 997 $aUNINA LEADER 00931nam0 22002651i 450 001 RML0257175 005 20231121125716.0 010 $a8814037280 100 $a20121121d1992 ||||0itac50 ba 101 | $aita 102 $ait 181 1$6z01$ai $bxxxe 182 1$6z01$an 200 1 $a˜Le œstatistiche creditizie in italia$evalidita' e limiti 210 $aMilano $cGiuffre' $d1992 606 $aDiritto bancario$2FIR$3RMLC318944$9I 700 1$aCusimano$b, Gaetano$3RMLV165370$0120754 801 3$aIT$bIT-01$c20121121 850 $aIT-FR0098 899 $aBiblioteca Area Giuridico Economica$bFR0098 912 $aRML0257175 950 0$aBiblioteca Area Giuridico Economica$d 53DSG 11/0153$e 53VM 0000281185 VM barcode:GIU0006686. - Inventario:9591VM$fA $h20010423$i20121204 977 $a 53 996 $aStatistiche creditizie in italia$93622677 997 $aUNICAS
