Issues and Challenges of Climate Change - Andrew Hyman - Bog

Climate change encompasses the global warming caused by humans such as increased greenhouse gas emissions, and the ensuing large-scale weather pattern adjustments. The effects of climate change are global in scope and unparalleled in scale. These effects range from changing weather patterns that jeopardize food production to rising sea levels that increase the risk of catastrophic flooding. There are various problems caused by climate change including species extinction, food insecurity, plastic waste crisis, air pollution, ocean acidification, and deforestation. These problems can be eliminated by investing in renewable substances, decreasing greenhouse gas emissions, reducing food waste, decreasing the usage of single use plastics, and putting more efforts in wildlife conservation. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to the issues and challenges of climate change. It will help the readers in keeping pace with the rapid changes in this area of study.
