Managing Global Warming and Climate Change

Description

The term "global warming" refers to the rise in the planet's mean surface temperature caused by greenhouse gases. The greenhouse effect is a phenomenon whereby these gases warm the atmosphere by absorbing long-wave radiation. It has caused several changes on the earth, including a rise in sea level, enormous melting of snow and ice, higher humidity, elevated ocean heat content, altered timing of seasonal events, and many more. The climate actively influences all living creatures' physical environments. It impacts human welfare from the immediate repercussions of weather-related events to complicated reactions linked to climatic change. Modern communications media also provide information on property damage, crop failures, starvation, or deaths from floods, droughts, storms, blizzards, heat waves, or other disasters worldwide. Doomsday scenarios predict global warming or cooling, an increase in polar ice or a decrease in it, shifting sea levels, growing deserts, and unavoidable world starvation. In addition to average temperature increases, extreme weather, shifting wildlife populations and habitats, increasing sea levels, and various other effects are all included in the concept of climate change. All those changes are occurring due to people continuing to increase the amount of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, altering the climate rhythms that all living creatures have grown to depend on. There is much debate over global warming and climate change, which has drawn the interest of scientists, governments, NGOs, and everyday people worldwide. The current book has made an effort to compile all pertinent data on climate change and global warming.
