Climate Change Annotated Bibliography

1. Luber, G. & Lemery, J (2015). Global Climate Change and Human Health From Science to
Practice. San Francisco: Jossey-Bass

The book is about the foundations of climate science and human health Global
Climate Change and Human Health examines the environmental crisis from a public
health and clinical health perspective, giving students and clinicians the information they
need to prepare for the future of health care.

2. Durkin, M. (2007). The Great Global Warming Swindle. 75 min. Channel 4 documentary
film

The Great Global Warming Swindle is a polemical documentary film that

suggests that the scientific opinion on climate change is influenced by funding and
political factors, and questions whether scientific consensus on global warming exists.

3. Hawken, P. (2017). Drawdown: the Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse
Global Warming. New York, NY: Penguin Books

In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of

researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and
bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described
here--some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean
energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon
out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout
the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination.

This book offers the most up-to-date examination of climate change's

foundational science, its implications for our future, and the core clean energy solutions.
Alongside detailed but highly accessible descriptions of what is causing climate change.

Greatest Challenge 3rd edition. Retrieved from https://www. Ucpress.edu

The atlas covers a wide range of topics, including warning signs, vulnerable
populations, health impacts, renewable energy, emissions reduction, personal and public
action. The third edition includes new or additional coverage of a number of topics,
including agreements reached in Copenhagen and Cancun, ocean warming and increased
acidity, the economic impact of climate change, and advantages gained by communities
and business from adapting to climate change. The extensive maps and graphics have
 been updated with new data, making this edition once again an essential resource for
everyone concerned with this pressing subject.

6. Dessler, A. (2016). Introduction to Modern Climate Change. Retrieved from

https://www.cambridge.org

The book reflects advances in the political debate over climate change. Unique
amongst textbooks on climate change, it combines an introduction to the science with an
introduction to economic and policy issues, and is tightly focused on anthropogenic
climate change. It contains the necessary quantitative depth for students to properly
understand the science of climate change.

7. Weart, S. (2008). The Discovery of Global Warming: Revised and Expanded Edition.
Harvard University Press. Retrieved from http://www.jstor.org/stable/j.ctt6wpmv8

The book is about the story of how scientists reached that conclusion was the
story Weart told in The Discovery of Global Warming. An international panel of
distinguished climate scientists announced that the world was warming at a rate without
precedent during at least the last two millennia, and that warming was caused by the
buildup of greenhouse gases from human activity. The story of how scientists reached
that conclusion—by way of unexpected twists and turns—was the story Spencer Weart
told in The Discovery of Global Warming.
8. Herman, G. (2018). What is Climate Change. New York, NY: Penguin Random House LLC

The book tells us what and how climate affects not just people but also animals
living in the world. The books describes polar bear in the arctic and the heating up of the
temperature as effects of climate change

9. Nordhaus, W. (2013). The Climate Casino: Risk, Uncertainty, and Economics for a Warming
World. London: Yale University Press

Climate change is profoundly altering our world in ways that pose major risks to
human societies and natural systems. We have entered the Climate Casino and are rolling
the global-warming dice, warns economist William Nordhaus. Bringing together all the
important issues surrounding the climate debate, Nordhaus describes the science,
economics, and politics involved—and the steps necessary to reduce the perils of global
warming. Using language accessible to any concerned citizen and taking care to present
different points of view fairly, he discusses the problem from start to finish: from the
beginning, where warming originates in our personal energy use, to the end, where
societies employ regulations or taxes or subsidies to slow the emissions of gases
responsible for climate change.

Finland and Morocco (Bachelor’s thesis, Saimaa University of Applied Sciences) retrieved
from https://www.theseus.fi

This thesis is to present the climate change problems and to describe how this
affects the Finnish and Moroccan forest industry. This thesis aims at explaining the
scientific basis for climate change and the possible impacts of changing climate. The
natural climate change, climate forcing, emission from forest industry, predicting climate
change, and avoiding dangerous climate change are introduced and discussed to illustrate
their potentials and impacts on the environmental and economic prospects domestically
and internationally. As an application of the effect of climate change on forests, the
experimental part in laboratory is about the effect of air humidity on hand sheet paper
properties.

Chesapeake Bay jurisdictions are required to develop Watershed Implementation
Plans (WIPs) to reduce Non-Point Source (NPS) pollution by sediment, nitrogen, and
phosphorus, and meet EPA Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for water quality. For
WIPs to be robust against climate change, BMPs must be designed for future climate and
community-based, participatory implementation strategies are needed.

Climate change has environmental, social, political and economic repercussions.

Extreme and unpredictable weather conditions, floods, droughts, rapid snowmelt and
rising sea levels are among the major climate change challenges that we are facing.
Climate change possesses the serious challenge of carbon dioxide emission reduction.
Climate is not a stable unchanging phenomenon even when left to natural forces alone.
Human induced climate change is simply an added disturbances to this natural variation.
