The over-exploitation of the Earth¿s resources has brought about an unsustainable situation where biodiversity and ecological balance are under threat. Butthe most immediate concern is global warming, caused by high anthropogenic emission of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Climate change is threatening the Earth with severe drought and floods, storms, and cyclones; rising sea levels and inundation of low coastal areas; disruption in the agricultural crop pattern; and serious problems with availability of fresh water. This book engages researchers, graduate students, and social activists to work for the mitigationof and adaptation with global warming and climate change.
