This book provides a clear understanding of the issue by presenting scientific facts to refute falsehoods and misinformation-and to confirm the validity of other assertions.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIs public understanding of global warming suffering from politically biased news coverage? Is it true that the global scientific community has not reached a consensus on whether humans are causing climate change? This important book addresses these questions and many more about global warming, identifying common claims about climate change and using quantifiable, evidence-based information to examine their veracity. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe authors of this work examine 35 specific claims that have been made about global climate change by believers and skeptics. These assertions-some true, some false-will guide readers to a much deeper understanding of the extent of climate change; whether any climate change that is taking place is human-caused; whether climate change is likely to be a serious problem in the future; whether scientists agree on the fundamentals of climate change; and whether climate change impacts can be mitigated. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExamples of specific issues that are scrutinized and explained in the book include: trends in the extent and condition of Arctic and Antarctic Sea ice packs, the accuracy of climate forecasting models, whether extreme weather events are increasing as a result of climate change, and the benefits and drawbacks of various schemes to limit greenhouse gas emissions.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDaniel Bedford \u003c\/b\u003eis Professor of Geography at Weber State University, Ogden, UT, USA. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eJohn Cook\u003c\/b\u003e is the Climate Communication Fellow for the Global Change Institute at the University of Queensland, Australia.\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.49 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 30, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51779103949088,"sku":"9798765114476","price":55.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/068e587f005e89f12e1633e00623d484.webp?v=1780511710","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/climate-change-examining-the-facts-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
