Global climatology and ecodynamics: anthropogenic driven changes to planet earth
Cracknell, A.P.

The exclusive role of natural ecosystems is a key factor in the maintenance of the biospheric equilibrium. The current global crisis is largely caused by their dramatic decline by 43% in the past hundred years. Ignoring the immutablelaws and limitations which determine the existence of all living things in the biosphere could lead humanity to an ecological catastrophe. This book presents the ecological, demographic, economic and socio-psychological manifestations of the global crisis and outlines the immutable laws and limitations which determine the existence of all living things in the biosphere. Uncertainties ofinformation on the problems of global climatology are a principal barrier foradequate understanding of the anthropogenic effects on global ecodynamics Summarize existing information and assess the level of these uncertainties Stimulate to think in the longer term about climate chanage and ecological damage that is being done to the planet earth in the hope that it may remain fit for human habitation INDICE: From the contents 1.
