Climate Change And Mitigation / by Hurt, Avery Elizabeth,editor.(CARDINAL)415814;
Includes bibliographical references and index"At this point, there is little doubt that climate change has occurred as the result of human activity--over 97 percent of scientific experts agree that this is the case. However, there is debate about the best way to deal with climate change now that its impacts are becoming apparent through issues such as extreme weather and a loss of habitable land. One potential approach is through mitigating climate change, which involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions and stabilizing their levels in the atmosphere. While many support this approach, questions exist about how effective this plan will be at reducing or even reversing the impacts of climate change and who should be responsible for paying for and implementing these efforts. This title examines these pressing questions from a range of perspectives, including those of scientists and experts in global finance and politics" --

Our fragile moment : how lessons from Earth's past can help us survive the climate crisis / by Mann, Michael E.,1965-author.(CARDINAL)557712;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 247-289) and index.Our moment begins -- Gaia and Madea: snowball Earth and the faint young Sun -- The great dying wasn't so great -- Mighty brontosaurus: don't you have a lesson for us? -- Hothouse Earth -- A message in the ice -- Beyond the hockey stick -- Past is prologue. Or is it?"The conditions that allowed humans to live on Earth are incredibly fragile. Climate variability has at times created new niches that humans or their ancestors could potentially exploit, and challenges that at times have spurred innovation. But there's a relatively narrow envelope of climate variability within which human civilization remains viable, and our survival depends on conditions remaining within that range. In this book, renowned climate scientist Michael Mann provides readers with the knowledge necessary to appreciate the gravity of the unfolding climate crisis, while emboldening them to act before it is too late."--
