Overview

The long term average weather of a place is termed as climate. The change in weather patterns of a place which may last for more than a few decades is termed as climate change. Some major factors responsible for climate change are greenhouse gases, aerosols, and solar and volcanic activity. Global warming is another phenomenon which is responsible for climate change. Anthropogenic activities cause excess combustion of fossil fuels such as coal, petroleum and natural gas. This releases large amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere which further contributes to global warming. Climate change leads to rising sea levels, expansion of deserts and heat waves. It also affects crop yields and food security. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of climate change. From theories to research to practical applications, case studies related to all contemporary topics of relevance to this field have been included in it.
