Climate change refers to a change in weather patterns that lasts for an extended period of time. It is caused by a variety of biotic factors as well as due to human activities. Some of these factors are variations in solar radiation, variation in the reflectivity of continents, changes in greenhouse gas concentrations, plate tectonics and volcanic eruptions. The study of climate change also encompasses the prediction of climate as well as linking of the different causes and effects of climate change. This is important because climate change phenomena have been linked to the collapse of various civilizations. Some of the observed effects of climate change are glacier retreat, Arctic sea ice loss, global warming, etc. Mitigation strategies involve a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, reforestation, adoption of renewable sources, etc. This book is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of climate change. The topics covered herein deal with the core areas of impact and mitigation of climate change. Climatologists, scientists, researchers and students will be immensely benefited by this book.
