Contents Preface 1 Introduction 2 Global warming and Oceans 3 Biological impacts of global warming 4 Global warming and Canada 5 Global warming and the USA 6 Global warming and the Netherlands 7 Global response to global warming Bibliography Index Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earths near surface air and oceans since the mid 20th century and its projected continuation The Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change IPCC concludes that increasing greenhouse gas concentrations resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation are responsible for most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century the IPCC also concludes that natural phenomena such as solar variation and volcanoes produced most of the warming from preindustrial times to 1950 and had a small cooling effect afterward These basic conclusions have been endorsed by more than 45 scientific societies and academies of science including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that the global surface temperature will probably rise further during the twenty first century The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions Some other uncertainties include how warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe Most studies focus on the period up to the year 2100 However warming is expected to continue beyond 2100 even if emissions stop because of the large heat capacity of the oceans and the long lifetime of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere Increasing global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation probably including expansion of subtropical deserts This book titled Global and Regional Perspectives on Global Warming will be of immense help to all those contemplating to acquire an expert knowledge of global warming jacket 212 pp.
