Climate change is a major topic of concern today, scientifically, socially, and politically. It will undoubtedly continue to be so for the foreseeable future, as predicted changes in global temperatures, rainfall, and sea level take place, and as human society adapts to these changes. In this remarkable new work, Jan Zalasiewicz and Mark Williams demonstrate how the Earth's climate has continuously altered over its 4.5 billion-year history. The story can be read from clues preserved in the Earth's strata - the evidence is abundant, though always incomplete, and also often baffling, puzzling, in Science Geology NATURE / Weather bisacsh SCIENCE / Earth Sciences / Meteorology & Climatology bisacsh Climatic changes fast Climatology fast Geologie Geowissenschaften Klimaänderung Naturwissenschaft Climatology Climatic changes Historische Geologie (DE-588)4025104-4 gnd rswk-swf Umweltveränderung (DE-588)4304982-5 gnd rswk-swf Eiszeit (DE-588)4014129-9 gnd rswk-swf Paläoklima (DE-588)4288494-9 gnd rswk-swf Interglazial (DE-588)4162010-0 gnd rswk-swf Anthropogener Einfluss (DE-588)4327906-5 gnd rswk-swf Anthropogene Klimaänderung (DE-588)4290733-0 gnd rswk-swf Paläoklimatologie (DE-588)4173112-8 gnd rswk-swf Klimaänderung (DE-588)4164199-1 gnd rswk-swf Paläobiogeografie (DE-588)4350465-6 gnd rswk-swf Paläoklimatologie (DE-588)4173112-8 s Paläoklima (DE-588)4288494-9 s Historische Geologie (DE-588)4025104-4 s Eiszeit (DE-588)4014129-9 s Interglazial (DE-588)4162010-0 s 1\p DE-604 Klimaänderung (DE-588)4164199-1 s Umweltveränderung (DE-588)4304982-5 s Anthropogener Einfluss (DE-588)4327906-5 s 2\p DE-604 Anthropogene Klimaänderung (DE-588)4290733-0 s 3\p DE-604 Paläobiogeografie (DE-588)4350465-6 s 4\p DE-604 Williams, Mark Sonstige oth 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 3\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 4\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
