Description
Explore the profound journey of our planet with 'A Brief History of the Earth's Climate.' This essential guide delves into the 4.6 billion-year evolution of Earth's climate, providing readers with a myth-busting framework on natural versus human-caused climate change. Understand the critical differences between natural climate fluctuations and the unprecedented threats posed by anthropogenic global warming.
Richly illustrated, this book covers significant climate change processes such as solar evolution, tectonic movements, volcanic activity, and shifts in ocean currents. Gain insights into Earth's orbital variations and periodic sunspot cycles that have historically influenced our climate. Dive into the current climate crisis, understanding tipping points that could lead to irreversible changes and what actions can be taken to mitigate these impacts.
Whether you're a student, educator, or environmentally conscious individual, this guide equips you with the knowledge to engage critically with climate change discussions and challenge the misconceptions perpetuated by climate change deniers. Learn how the COVID-19 pandemic has influenced our approach to climate and the eco-political challenges that lie ahead. 'A Brief History of the Earth's Climate' is crucial reading for anyone eager to understand the complexities of climate dynamics and articulate an informed response to this pressing global issue.

Description:
What's natural, what's caused by humans, and why climate change is a disaster for all.
A Brief History of the Earth's Climate is an accessible myth-busting guide to the natural evolution of the Earth's climate over 4.6 billion years, and how and why human-caused global warming and climate change is different and much more dangerous.
Richly illustrated chapters cover the major historical climate change processes including evolution of the sun, plate motions and continental collisions, volcanic eruptions, changes to major ocean currents, Earth's orbital variations, sunspot variations, and short-term ocean current cycles. As well as recent human-induced climate change and an overview of the implications of the COVID pandemic for climate change. Content includes:
Understanding natural geological processes that shaped the climate
How human impacts are now rapidly changing the climate
Tipping points and the unfolding climate crisis
What we can do to limit the damage to the planet and ecosystems
Countering climate myths peddled by climate change science deniers.
A Brief History of the Earth's Climate is essential reading for everyone who is looking to understand what drives climate change, counter skeptics and deniers, and take action on the climate emergency.
