Global climate change : a primer / by Pilkey, Orrin H.,1934-(CARDINAL)141848; Pilkey, Keith C.,1965-(CARDINAL)324938; Fraser, Mary Edna.(CARDINAL)324937;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 131-137) and index.Preface -- 1: Global change and the greenhouse earth -- 2: Impact of global change -- 3: Doubts, uncertainties, and qualms -- 4: Manufacture of dissent: the global warming denial lobby -- 5: Future of ice -- 6: Global change in the oceans -- 7: Disappearing civilizations -- 8: Global change in the biosphere -- Plan B: Geoengineering to the rescue? -- About the art -- Bibliography -- Index.Overview: An internationally recognized expert on the geology of barrier islands, Orrin H. Pilkey is one of the rare academics who engage in public advocacy about science-related issues. He has written dozens of books and articles explaining coastal processes to lay readers, and he is a frequent and outspoken interviewee in the mainstream media. Here, the colorful scientist takes on climate change deniers in an outstanding and much-needed primer on the science of global change and its effects. After explaining the greenhouse effect, Pilkey, writing with son Keith, turns to the damage it is causing: sea level rise, ocean acidification, glacier and sea ice melting, changing habitats, desertification, and the threats to animals, humans, coral reefs, marshes, and mangroves. These explanations are accompanied by Mary Edna Fraser's stunning batiks depicting the large-scale arenas in which climate change plays out. The Pilkeys directly confront and rebut arguments typically advanced by global change deniers. Particularly valuable are their discussions of "Climategate," a manufactured scandal that undermined respect for the scientific community, and the denial campaigns by the fossil fuel industry, which they compare to the tactics used by the tobacco companies a generation ago to obfuscate findings on the harm caused by cigarettes.

Field notes from a catastrophe [sound recording] : man, nature, and climate change by Kolbert, Elizabeth.(CARDINAL)324071; Davis, Hope,1967-;
Read by Hope Davis.New Yorker writer Kolbert tackles the controversial subject of global warming. Americans have been warned since the late 1970s that the buildup of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere threatens to melt the polar ice sheets and irreversibly change our climate. With little done since then to alter this dangerous course, now is the moment to salvage our future. By the end of the century, the world will likely be hotter than it's been in the last two million years, and the sweeping consequences of this change will determine the future of life on earth for generations to come. Kolbert approaches this monumental problem from every angle. She interviews researchers and environmentalists, explains the science and the studies, draws frightening parallels to lost ancient civilizations and presents the personal tales of those who are watching their worlds disappear.
