Description

Global Warming Science: A Quantitative Introduction to Climate Change and Its Consequences by Eli Tziperman is a comprehensive textbook that introduces undergraduates to the science behind global warming. This book provides a broad, quantitative approach to understanding climate change, covering topics such as the greenhouse effect, ocean acidification, hurricanes, and extreme weather events. Through basic statistical analysis, simple differential equations, and elementary chemical reactions, each chapter explains the mechanisms behind observed or anticipated changes in the climate system. The book also includes interactive workshops with Jupyter Python notebooks and accompanying data sets, providing hands-on engagement for students. With its clear and accessible approach, Global Warming Science engages students in analyzing climate data and models, examining predictions, and dealing with uncertainty. Supplementary online materials, including slides, code, and data files, are available to support instructors. The book requires only elementary undergraduate-level calculus and basic statistics, making it an ideal resource for those new to the subject.
