If climate catastrophes like Hurricane Sandy seem to be on the rise, it's for a reason. The likelihood of these extreme weather events are increasingly being tied to man-made global warming, mostly through overproduction of carbon dioxide. It's no longer an abstract idea; it's being felt locally, on every level.
Climate Change and Extreme Weather gives you the tools to better understand what's behind climate change, what might be in store during the coming decades, and how we can begin to reverse the detrimental effects mankind has had on the atmosphere.
