  • "Global warming and the resulting climate change is one of the most serious environmental problems facing the world community. Global Warming: The Complete Briefing is the most comprehensive guide available to the subject. A world-renowned expert, Sir John Houghton explores the scientific basis of global warming and the likely impacts of climate change on human society, before addressing the action that could be taken by governments, by industry and by individuals to mitigate the effects. The first two editions received excellent reviews, and this completely updated new edition will prove to be the best briefing the student or interested general reader could wish for."

  • ""Spécialiste en physique de l'atmosphère et ancien membre du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC), Sir John Houghton est l'un des rares scientifiques du monde qui puisse légitimement qualifier son ouvrage d' "état des lieux complet" sur le changement climatique. Dans ce livre, il y expose, en douze chapitres, les dernières découvertes en climatologie et les dernières projections concernant les impacts du changement climatique au XXIe siècle, mais également les stratégies d'adaptation et d'atténuation qui existent. Ainsi, il montre, par exemple, comment ralentir ou stabiliser le changement climatique en réduisant les émissions de gaz à effet de serre générées par les activités humaines. Il aborde en particulier les enjeux associés à notre consommation d'énergie, à nos habitudes de transport et à d'autres changements globaux comme la déforestation ou la croissance démographique. Pourtant complexes, ces thématiques sont traitées de manière claire et complète, en se basant sur le quatrième rapport d'évaluation du GIEC et de nombreuses autres sources citées tout au long de l'ouvrage. Ce livre se démarque dès lors des ouvrages polémiques, en exposant les seuls faits établis scientifiquement. Il explique notamment comment fonctionne un modèle climatique et expose systématiquement les incertitudes associées aux résultats de ces modèles. À la fois rigoureux et accessible, abondamment illustré et documenté, cet ouvrage donnera aux profanes les clefs de compréhension du changement climatique, tout en proposant aux lecteurs avisés un aperçu complet de l'état actuel de nos connaissances sur les différentes facettes de l'un des principaux défis du XXIe siècle."--P. [4] of cover."
