Universal Knowledge Library: Climate Change by Wilco International LLP [Premium Books]

Book Summary

Universal Knowledge Library: Climate Change is an educational reference book that explains the science, causes, impacts, and responses to climate change in a clear and accessible way. Designed for students and general readers, the book begins by describing Earth’s climate system—how the atmosphere, oceans, land, and ice interact to regulate temperature and weather patterns. It introduces the concept of the greenhouse effect, explaining how certain gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂), methane, and nitrous oxide trap heat and warm the planet.

The book outlines the human activities responsible for increased greenhouse gas emissions, especially the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas), deforestation, and industrial processes. It also discusses key observed impacts of climate change, including rising global temperatures, melting glaciers and ice caps, sea-level rise, more frequent extreme weather events (heatwaves, storms, droughts), and disruptions to ecosystems and agriculture.

Importantly, the book emphasizes both global and local responses to climate change, covering mitigation strategies (renewable energy, energy efficiency, reforestation) and adaptation measures (coastal protection, climate-resilient crops, policy frameworks like the Paris Agreement). Illustrated with diagrams, charts, and simple explanations, the book provides readers with foundational knowledge to understand why climate change matters, how scientists study it, and what actions are being taken to address its challenges.
