Author Richard S. Dillon tackles the divisive subject of global warming in his new book, Scientific Facts and Climate Change.
Readers will gain a better understanding of key climate change concepts-like what scientists mean when they discuss the greenhouse effect and how to differentiate between good and bad science- in easy-to-read terms. Dillon tackles a broad range of concepts, exploring why carbon dioxide is not an effective greenhouse gas, how the way in which the solubility of carbon dioxide may explain the relationship between it and water temperature, and how carbon dioxide absorbs infrared radiation by bending and stretching the oxygen-carbon bonds.
Dillon also dissects the various reports of global weather-related disasters, including recent worldwide hurricanes, floods, and droughts, to determine their root causes and better focus climate debate. No factor is too big or small to be considered in Scientific Facts and Climate Change. Looking outward and upward, Dillon even examines the effect of the sun and cosmos on the global climate, drawing a correlation between the number of sunspots and major weather patterns seen in the past.
Ready to reconsider the world around you? This eye-opening look at climate change is a great place to start.
