The Weather Makers : How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth – Review
The book gives some popular technical concepts behind the debate on global warming. According to the author, global warming is really happening at an raising rate. A power of the work is that plausible logical arguments are advanced to support the author’s central thesis; that is, global warming is a philosophical problem involving corrective action. The Coral Reef is eventually becoming endangered by climate changes. Approximately, 1 in 4 ocean creatures consumes time in the corral reefs. Increased temperatures and bleaching undermine the very existence and continuity of the coral reef. Live coral currently cover less than ten per cents on 1/2 of the coral reef surface area. As CO2 increases along with the temperature, the next 50 years will see changes rarely exceeding those of the past 1/2 million years. Fish are eventually becoming strictly restricted in the coral reef and the overall biodiversity is being seriously undermined. Perth eventually lost 2/3 of the surface water supply over the past 30 years. The Australians have seen a permanent reduction in rainfall. In just a few years, the tropopause rose several hundred meters heralding recent storms and severe weather patterns. The author admits that nuclear power may become very competitive with wind sources. The book gives some moral arguments to advance the contemporary debate on global warming. It would be perfect simply reading for any school science project.
