What is the truth? Can the solution be found in a global political treaty or individual action? This Britannica guide gives a clear overview of the scientific evidence, from data showing how the atmosphere has changed in the last 4.5 billion years to more recent studies on the symptoms of a warming planet and the global effects of greenhouse gases, deforestation, and population. The guide introduces you to the possible solutions and to key figures in the debate, from the origins of environmentalism through to the Kyoto Protocol and beyond. In his wide-ranging introduction, Robert M. May, leading commentator and former President of the Royal Society, looks at the current scientific debates concerning climate change and shows how our actions can change the future. 410 0$aBritannica guide series. 517 3 $aClimate change 517 3 $aEncyclopdia Britannica guide to climate change 606 $aClimatic changes 606 $aGlobal temperature changes 615 0$aClimatic changes. 615 0$aGlobal temperature changes. 676 $a355.03;551.6 701 $aMay$b Robert M$059857 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910993979503321 996 $aThe Britannica guide to climate change$94351755 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04825nam 2200745Ia 450 001 9910954044603321 005 20251214174615.0 010 $a1-280-96123-6 010 $a9786610961238 010 $a0-08-047075-0 035 $a(CKB)1000000000364639 035 $a(EBL)286716 035 $a(OCoLC)476038636 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000206090 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11166683 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000206090 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10212440 035 $a(PQKB)10949970 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL286716 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10166970 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL96123 035 $a(CaSebORM)9780120887996 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC286716 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000364639 100 $a20050428d2005 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn| ||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aMoving objects databases /$fRalf Hartmut Guting and Markus Schneider 205 $a1st edition 210 $aSan Francisco, Calif. ;$aLondon $cMorgan Kaufmann$dc2005 215 $a1 online resource (413 p.) 225 1 $aMorgan Kaufmann series in data management systems 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 08$a1-4933-0009-1 311 08$a0-12-088799-1 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aContents; front cover; copyright; table of contents; front matter; Foreword; Preface; body; 1.

These we call Moving Objects Databases. Why do you need this book? With current systems, most data management professionals are not able to smoothly integrate spatio-temporal data from moving objects, making data from, say, the path of a hurricane very difficult to model, design, and query.
