"Spécialiste en physique de l'atmosphère et ancien membre du Groupe d'experts intergouvernemental sur l'évolution du climat (GIEC), Sir John Houghton est l'un des rares scientifiques du monde qui puisse légitimement qualifier son ouvrage d' "état des lieux complet" sur le changement climatique. Dans ce livre, il y expose, en douze chapitres, les dernières découvertes en climatologie et les dernières projections concernant les impacts du changement climatique au XXIe siècle, mais également les stratégies d'adaptation et d'atténuation qui existent. Ainsi, il montre, par exemple, comment ralentir ou stabiliser le changement climatique en réduisant les émissions de gaz à effet de serre générées par les activités humaines. Il aborde en particulier les enjeux associés à notre consommation d'énergie, à nos habitudes de transport et à d'autres changements globaux comme la déforestation ou la croissance démographique. Pourtant complexes, ces thématiques sont traitées de manière claire et complète, en se basant sur le quatrième rapport d'évaluation du GIEC et de nombreuses autres sources citées tout au long de l'ouvrage. Ce livre se démarque dès lors des ouvrages polémiques, en exposant les seuls faits établis scientifiquement. Il explique notamment comment fonctionne un modèle climatique et expose systématiquement les incertitudes associées aux résultats de ces modèles. À la fois rigoureux et accessible, abondamment illustré et documenté, cet ouvrage donnera aux profanes les clefs de compréhension du changement climatique, tout en proposant aux lecteurs avisés un aperçu complet de l'état actuel de nos connaissances sur les différentes facettes de l'un des principaux défis du XXIe siècle."--Page 4 de la couverture.

Over the ages, human societies have altered local ecosystems and modified regional climates. Today, the human influence has attained a global scale. This reflects the recent rapid increase in population size, energy consumption, intensity of land use, international trade and travel, and other human activities. These global changes have heightened awareness that the long-term good health of populations depends on the continued stability and functioning of the biosphere's ecological, physical, and socioeconomic systems. The world's climate system is an integral part of the complex of life-suppor
