It reflects recent scientific progress in the field, as well as advances in the political arena around climate change. As in previous editions, it is tightly focussed on anthropogenic climate change. The first part of the book concentrates on the science of modern climate change, including evidence that the Earth is warming and a basic description of climate physics. Concepts such as radiative forcing, climate feedbacks, and the carbon cycle are discussed and explained using basic physics and algebra. The second half of the book goes beyond the science to address the economics and policy options to address climate change. The book's goal is for a student to leave the class ready to engage in the public policy debate on the climate crisis. *Provides students with an entire overview of recent climate change: science, economics, and policy - students will leave the class having truly grasped the threats of climate change and ready to engage in the public debate *Third edition has been brought completely up to date, and reflects recent scientific progress in the field *Offers simple mathematical treatments of the topic that are accessible to both non-science majors and introductory science students *Supplementary Resources available at http://andrewdessler.com include additional readings and videos of the author's lectures. Supplementary Resources available at www.cambridge.org/dessler3 include a complete set of PowerPoint figures for instructors and solutions to exercises TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface 1.
