Description

Climate: A Very Short Introduction explores all aspects of the global climate system, explaining how energy reaches Earth and is redistributed by the ocean-atmosphere system. Mark Maslin examines the relationship between climate and weather, its impact on life and human settlements, and the cyclic features that shape our planet's climate.

He also discusses the Milankovitch cycles and El Nino, before touching on the issue of climate change and the approaches being taken to tackle it. This book provides a comprehensive overview of the global climate system, making it an ideal introduction for those looking to understand this complex topic.
