Overview
"There is a the moment no obvious mechanism that will slow, stop, or otherwise deflect the warming, short of stabilization of the composition of the atmosphere by human action.Ó Did you know that scientists believe that the Earth is warming rapidly? That the hole in the ozone layer might be contributing to the greenhouse effect? And that some people believe that global warming will completely change the way we live? So, what can be done to correct these problems? Science at the Edge: Global Warming looks at the effects and the most likely causes of global warming. It examines what the consequences will be for Earth and for us if temperatures continue to increase. You will also learn about the impact of CFCs, deforestation, fossil fuel consumption, and what the future holds. The Science at the Edge series is about development and theories in science that are both interesting and sometimes cause for concern. Each book in the series explains how the science was discovered, how it works, how it can help people, and why it may not be completely accepted by everyone.
