It includes 11 chapters split into 5 sections. Section 1 outlines the recent changes in the Indian Monsoon, the importance of greenhouse gases to life, and the relative importance of changes in solar radiation in causing the changes. Section 2 discusses the changes to natural hazards such as floods, retreating glaciers and potential sea level changes. Section 3 examines planning cities and transportation systems in the light of the changes, while section 4 looks at alternative energy sources. Section 5 estimates the changes to the carbon pool in the alpine meadows of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. The 11 authors come from 9 different countries, so the examples are taken from a truly international set of problems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intechopen","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45570759360663,"sku":"9789533071497","price":13118.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789533071497.webp?v=1767465857","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/global-warming-9789533071497","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
