Climate Change and Climate Modeling / Neelin David J.
Titre : Climate Change and Climate Modeling Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Neelin David J., Auteur Editeur : Cambridge University Press Année de publication : 2010 Importance : 282 p. Format : 25 x 19 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-521-60243-3 Langues : Français (fre) Mots-clés : Climate Change Climate Modeling Résumé : Provides students with a solid foundation in climate science, with which to understand global warming, natural climate variations, and climate models. As climate models are one of our primary tools for predicting and adapting to climate change, it is vital we appreciate their strengths and limitations. Also key is understanding what aspects of climate science are well understood and where quantitative uncertainties arise. This textbook will inform the future users of climate models and the decision-makers of tomorrow by providing the depth they need, while requiring no background in atmospheric science and only basic calculus and physics. Developed from a course that the author teaches at UCLA, material has been extensively class-tested and with online resources of colour figures, Powerpoint slides, and problem sets, this is a complete package for students across all sciences wishing to gain a solid grounding in climate science.

Titre : Climate change and society Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John Urry Editeur : Cambridge, U.K. : Polity Press Année de publication : 2011 Importance : [vi], 217 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7456-5036-4 Mots-clés : Climate change society Index. décimale : 551 Résumé : This book explores the significance of human behaviour to understanding the causes and impacts of changing climates and to assessing varied ways of responding to such changes. So far the discipline that has represented and modelled such human behaviour is economics.
By contrast Climate Change and Society tries to place the social at the heart of both the analysis of climates and of the assessment of alternative futures. It demonstrates the importance of social practices organised into systems. In the fateful twentieth century various interlocking high carbon systems were established. This sedimented high carbon social practices, engendering huge population growth, increasing greenhouse gas emissions and the potentially declining availability of oil that made this world go round. Especially important in stabilising this pattern was the carbon military–industrial complex around the world.
The book goes on to examine how in this new century it is systems that have to change, to move from growing high carbon systems to those that are low carbon. Many suggestions are made as to how to innovate such low carbon systems. It is shown that such a transition has to happen fast so as to create positive feedbacks of each low carbon system upon each other. Various scenarios are elaborated of differing futures for the middle of this century, futures that all contain significant costs for the scale, extent and richness of social life.
Climate Change and Society thus attempts to replace economics with sociology as the dominant discipline in climate change analysis. Sociology has spent much time examining the nature of modern societies, of modernity, but mostly failed to analyse the carbon resource base of such societies. This book seeks to remedy that failing. It should appeal to teachers and students in sociology, economics, environmental studies, geography, planning, politics and science studies, as well as to the public concerned with the long term future of carbon and society.Climate change and society [texte imprimé] / John Urry . - Cambridge, U.K. : Polity Press, 2011 . - [vi], 217 p. : ill. ; 23 cm.

Titre : Climate Change: Identification and Projections Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Philippe de Larminat, Auteur Editeur : New York : Wiley Année de publication : 2014 Importance : 140 p. Format : 24 x 16 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-84821-777-5 Langues : Français (fre) Mots-clés : Climate Change Résumé : Under certain scenarios on the subject of CO2 emissions, by the end of the century the atmospheric concentration could triple its pre-industrial level.
The very large numerical models intended to anticipate the corresponding climate evolutions are designed and quantified from the laws of physics. However, little is generally known about these: genesis of clouds, terms of the greenhouse effect, solar activity intervention, etc.
This book deals with the issue of climate modeling in a different way: using proven techniques for identifying black box-type models. Taking climate observations from throughout the millennia, the global models obtained are validated statistically and confirmed by the resulting simulations.
This book thus brings constructive elements that can be reproduced by anyone adept at numerical simulation, whether an expert climatologist or not. It is accessible to any reader interested in the issues of climate change.Climate Change: Identification and Projections [texte imprimé] / Philippe de Larminat, Auteur . - New York : Wiley, 2014 . - 140 p. ; 24 x 16 cm.

Titre : Climate change : what the science tells us / Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Charles Fletcher Mention d'édition : 1st ed. Editeur : Hoboken, NJ : John Wiley and Sons Année de publication : 2013 Importance : xvi, 265 p. Présentation : ill. (principalement en coul. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-1-118-05753-7 Mots-clés : Climate change Index. décimale : 551 Résumé : Fletcher′s 1st edition of "Climate Change: What the Science Tells Us" places strong emphasis on the peer–reviewed literature in reporting the impacts of climate change on the ocean, terrestrial ecosystems, the water cycle, human communities, dangerous weather patterns, and potential future Earth systems. The book offers detailed discussion of greenhouse gases, oceanic and atmospheric processes, Pleistocene and Holocene paleoclimate, the human fingerprints of climate change, modeling climate, sea level rise, climate impacts on economic sectors, and dangerous weather patterns associated with climate change.
Fletcher offers the first real textbook to present the science surrounding climate change at the right level for an undergraduate student. His polished writing style makes this an entertaining read while the pedagogical support and organization helps students better identify and understand key concepts, ideas and terms. Each chapter is organized with learning objectives, student exercises, videos, scientific citations to promote further learning, and creative thinking problems to underpin classroom discussion.Climate change : what the science tells us / [texte imprimé] / Charles Fletcher . - 1st ed. . - Hoboken, NJ : John Wiley and Sons, 2013 . - xvi, 265 p. : ill.

Titre : Can science fix climate change? : a case against climate engineering Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Michael Hulme (1960-....), Auteur Editeur : Cambridge, UK : Polity Press Année de publication : 2014, cop. 2014 Collection : new human frontiers series Importance : 1 vol. (XIV-158 p.) Format : 19 cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-7456-8205-1 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : science fix climate change Index. décimale : 551 Résumé : Climate change seems to be an insurmountable problem. Political solutions have so far had little impact. Some scientists are now advocating the so–called Plan B , a more direct way of reducing the rate of future warming by reflecting more sunlight back to space, creating a thermostat in the sky. In this book, Mike Hulme argues against this kind of hubristic techno–fix. Drawing upon a distinguished career studying the science, politics and ethics of climate change, he shows why using science to fix the global climate is undesirable, ungovernable and unattainable. Science and technology should instead serve the more pragmatic goals of increasing societal resilience to weather risks, improving regional air quality and driving forward an energy technology transition. Seeking to reset the planet s thermostat is not the answer. Note de contenu : Imagining an engineered climate
