Summary

How will weather change as our planet warms and our climate changes? Will there be more droughts? How will precipitation patterns be affected? Will there be more or fewer storms? Will tropical cyclones be more, or less, intense? Will all regions of the world be affected? In this last chapter, we will put in perspective all that we have learned about the atmosphere and apply it to the pressing issue of global warming.
