N2  - "Climate change receives a lot of attention because it is more than just a scientific issue; it also affects economics, sociology, politics, and standards of living. This book addresses current issues surrounding climate change. With a focus on various aspects of local, national, and international management issues, the text closely analyzes the cause-and-effect relationships that impact the environment worldwide on daily, annual, and longer time scales.
