The causes, effects and dynamics of global warming are among the most urgent and controversial issues facing humanity today. Topics in global warming have exceedingly complex scientific, social, economic and developmental aspects, and demand collaboration and innovation on an unprecedented scale. This book brings the reader the latest developments, focusing on challenges, impacts and perspectives on the future. In the first part, policy and practice is considered through topics such as non-thermal processes for the destruction of fluorinated greenhouse gases, and the innovative Tuvalu Visualization Project. The second part presents case studies in the impact of global warming. Topics include the impact of climate change on malaria transmission in the African Highlands, and the effects of different temperature and light conditions on tree seedlings. Finally, part three looks to the future, considering issues such as the impact of climate changes on freshwater resources in South Africa, the effects of solar dynamo transition on climate change and the consequences of global warming for fruit crops in temperate zones. This wide-ranging, meticulously researched work is an essential resource for students and advances researchers studying both the science of global warming and its complex social and economic implications.
