Global Climatology and Ecodynamics Anthropogenic Changes to Planet Earth /

Uncertainties of information on the problems of global climatology are a principal barrier for adequate understanding of the anthropogenic effects on global ecodynamics. The purpose of the book is to summarize existing information and assess the level of these uncertainties. We want to stimulate rea...
