Summary

"This book seeks to answer questions by providing a balanced and accessible analysis of the current debate on climatic change. Combining a historical perspective, economic and political analysis, together with meteorological and climatological explanations of the impact of extreme weather events on all aspects of society, it provides a basis of interpreting what is known about climatic change and the ability to forecast future changes and their economic and political consequences."--Jacket.
