A WARMER WORLD
Human emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants are in the process of intensifying the greenhouse effect of the atmosphere. This is expected to result in global warming that could have far-reaching consequences for our descendants, many generations into the future. But how does the greenhouse effect work? What role do natural variations in climate play? How has the earthâs climate changed in the past? How can we estimate future trends in climate, and what do the results say? What impacts could an altered climate have on plants, animals and humans? And what can we do to reduce our influence on climate? This book offers answers to all these questions and many more. A Warmer World is based to a large extent on an assessment of current understanding in this field, undertaken by the UNâs Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In addition, it presents new Swedish projections of what could happen to the climate of Sweden and Europe over the next hundred years. A Warmer World is a fact-packed but very readable and richly illustrated summary of existing knowledge about a challenging global environmental problem to which we all contribute.
