This visually compelling book delves into the urgent reality of our changing climate. It explores the inevitability of global warming and its far-reaching consequences, providing convincing evidence that human actions have triggered chain reactions which we cannot stop. While increased economic activity and greenhouse gas emissions are significant contributors, the most alarming threat lies in the activation of "sleeping giants" - natural climate feedback loops that amplify warming. The thawing of permafrost, for instance, releases potent greenhouse gases, further intensifying climate change. This vicious cycle, once initiated, is difficult, if not impossible, to reverse. The book warns that...
Dies reich illustrierte Buch ist für Sie bestimmt, wenn Sie verstehen möchten, was mit unserem Klima geschieht, warum die anhaltende globale Erwärmung und die Klimaveränderungen unausweichlich sind, welche Konsequenzen sie nach sich ziehen und was die Menschheit in dieser Situation tun kann. Es präsentiert Belege dafür, dass die Menschheit die globale Erwärmung und Klimaveränderung in absehbarer Zukunft nicht stoppen können wird. Die Ursachen liegen nicht nur in der wachsenden wirtschaftlichen Aktivität des Menschen, sondern auch im Erwachen gefährlicher natürlicher Klima-Rückkopplungsprozesse, den "schlafenden Giganten", die die durch den Menschen ausgelöste Erwärmung verstä...

Published by the American Geophysical Union as part of the Geophysical Monograph Series, Volume 141. This monograph presents a state-of-the-art description of the most recent results on solar variability and its possible influence on the Earth's climate and atmosphere. Our primary goal in doing so is to review solar energy flux variations (both electromagnetic and particle) and understand their relations to solar magnetic field changes and global effects, their impact on different atmospheric layers, and—as a collaboration of scientists working on solar-terrestrial physics—to note unresolved questions on an important interdisciplinary area. One of the highest-level questions facing scien...
