Extremely topical over recent years, global warming has been the subject of a huge and growing amount of literature. Current literature however tends to fall into two camps: that which is highly scientific in nature and inaccessible to the average student, and that which is directed to the "lay" reader and lacks detail required by students. This book successfully bridges this gap, prividing an accessible explanation of the physical mechanisms of global warming-discussed within the wider context of climate change.

Basic physical concepts
The climate system
Past greenhouses and icehouses
Historical climate change
The observational evidence for global warming
The model evidence for global warming
Indirect impacts and options for change
The need for consensus
