| With debates about climate change, the general public has become more aware that weather and climate have histories. Is the Earth warming, and what will that mean for coastal cities? Is the ozone layer thinning and how many excess skin cancer deaths will we have before it recovers? Are current patterns of temperature, climate, and storm intensity going to stay the same, get better, or worsen? This volume by a group of Australian archeologists, paleontologists, historians, climate scientists, and a radio producer offers a view of weather, climate, and global warming from the southern hemisphere. |
