Cover of The Changing Global Environment
by
Language: English
Release Date: December 6, 2012

We know a great deal about historical climate and its variations from various geo­ logical studies. There are two points worth remarking on. One is that the climate changes frequently and radically, but that the degree of variation and even sense of variation depends on the time scale which we are...
