Lamb, H.H. Climate history and the modern world

Wilеy-Blаckwell, 2008, 276 pages Whilst there is now overwhelming evidence that greenhouse-gas pollution is becoming the dominant process responsible for global warming, it is also clear that the climate system varies quite naturally on different time-scales. Predicting the course of future climate change consequently requires an understanding of the natural variability of the climate system as well as the effects of human-induced change. This...

Cambrige University Press, 2005. p. 356. Weaves together climate research with anthropological and archaeological studies showing how climate change has made us who we are today.

Cambridge University Press, 2007, 308 pages This new edition of Human Impacts on Weather and Climate examines the scientific and political debates surrounding anthropogenic impacts on the Earth's climate and presents the most recent theories, data and modeling studies. The book discusses the concepts behind deliberate human attempts to modify the weather through cloud seeding, as well as inadvertent modification of weather and climate on the re...

Chelsea House, New York, 2008, 199 p. Dana Desonie, Ph.D. , has written about the earth, ocean, space, life, and environmental sciences for more than a decade. Her work has appeared in educational lessons, textbooks and magazines, and on radio and the Web. Though climate change is normal in Earth's history, global warming has raised average temperatures to their highest in two millennia, resulting in melting ice caps, shorter winters, changes i...

WCRP- 132, WMO/TD - No 1526, SPARC Report No 5, 2010, 600 pp. Three-dimensional climate models with a fully interactive representation of stratospheric ozone chemistry — otherwise known as stratosphere-resolving chemistry-climate models (CCMs) — are key tools for the attribution and prediction of stratospheric ozone changes arising from the combined effects of changes in the amounts of greenhouse gases (GHG) and ozone-depleting substances (ODS)....

De Gruyter, 2011. - 720 pages Climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing the modern world. The chemistry of the air within the framework of the climate system forms the main focus of this monograph. This problem-based approach to presenting global atmospheric processes begins with the chemical evolution of the climate system in order to evaluate the effects of changing air composition as well as possibilities for interference within...

Cambridge University Press, 2011, 282 Pages Provides students with a solid foundation in climate science, with which to understand global warming, natural climate variations, and climate models. As climate models are one of our primary tools for predicting and adapting to climate change, it is vital we appreciate their strengths and limitations. Also key is understanding what aspects of climate science are well understood and where quantitative u...

NCPA ([US] National Center for Policy Analysis) Policy Report No. 279. September 2005, ISBN #1-56808-149-9, 29 pages. Executive Summary The Earth currently is experiencing a warming trend, but there is scientific evidence that human activities have little to do with it. Instead, the warming seems to be part of a 1,500-year cycle (plus or minus 500 years) of moderate temperature swings. It has long been accepted that the Earth has experienced clim...

World Climate Research Programme, International Association For Meteorology And Atmospheric Physics, Radiation Commission, 1986, WCP – 112, WMO/TD-No. 24, 60pp. McClatchey R.A., Shettle E., Fenn R., et al. For radiation computations there is a twofold demand for standardized models: First, to test and to intercompare radiation transfer algorithms, and Second, to compute the radiation terms for sensitivity studies in climate research. For the firs...
