Talking sense : climate change; an easy introduction / Farhan Anwar.

Climate change - A call for action
Scientific community globally has now arrived at a strong consensus that climate change is occurring at a scale and pace that is unprecedented. Human induced triggers are at the forefront in terms of enhancing the scope and intensity of climate change. The unsustainable exploitation of natural resources to meet the ever rising energy and consumer needs of a growing populace and degradation through human discharges is coupled now with emissions of 'green house gases' that are threatening to alter the whole balance of nature brought about by climatic controls and regenerative capacities of the natural climate balance. Above anything else, it is going to be a matter of individual and community choices on how they nurture and maintain a relationship with nature that will determine the sustainability and viability of a future for us on this precious and unique planet we call earth. This work aims to inform in an easily understandable manner the science, politics and administration of climate change to the common individual. It hopes to tune all not only with the 'alarm bells' that are beginning to toll ever so loudly now, but also strives to bring forward a message of
hope a call for action - that raised at the level of an individual can then spread across communities and nations to trigger the mass scale mobilization that is required to tackle the global challenge of climate change.
