Today most people, with some notable exceptions, would agree that humans have been responsible in changing the Earth?s atmosphere in dramatic ways over the last two centuries and thus causing ?global warming?. Were we to agree, or doggedly ?stick our heads in the sand? and flatly disagree, that the Earth is experiencing a phase of global warming, we all have to accept that very strange things have happened in recent years. Precipitation in excesses has caused flooding of large areas throughout the world. We have seen unprecedented high temperatures causing droughts and unimaginable forest fires whilst, on the other hand, we have been witness to severe drops in temperature. Still, there are those people who insist that there are not such things as the Greenhouse Effect or Global Warming. Perhaps such people are simply misinformed. This book is intended to help us all understand these phenomena better, and to help extract the sadly misinformed from their places in the sand.
