World leaders, environmentalists and the international science community agree that climate change is one of the largest and most intractable problems now confronting us all. Despite this, it still remains a bewildering subject.

The Impact of Climate Change tries to answer urgent questions, such as: What is climate change? How will it affect us? What can we do to stop it?

The book is divided into five chapters; which look at why our climate is changing; how the world works; how we pedict the outcomes of climate change; how we live with change; and how we make a difference. It looks at environmental, cultural and technological changes likely to occur in the 21st century and beyond.

According to its publishers, New Holland, the book take scientific findings and demystifies them; and it illuminates the planet’s greatest threat in a dynamic ands entertaining manner without being domatic or judgemental.
