To answer criticisms and synthesise available information, scientists have been driven to devise increasingly complex models of the climate system. This book conveys that the basics of climate and climate change have been known for decades, and that relatively simple descriptions can capture the major features of the climate system and help the general public understand what controls climate and weather, and how both might be changing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRenowned environmental scientist and educator John Aber distils what he has learned from a long fascination with weather and climate, the process of science, and the telling of the story of science. This is not a book about policies and politics. Instead, it explores how weather happens, how it relates to climate, and how science has been used to answer major questions about the Earth as a system and inform policies that have reversed environmental degradation. By providing a guided tour of the science of weather, this thoughtful survey will contribute clarity and rationality to the public understanding of climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eLess Heat, More Light\u003c\/i\u003e offers a comprehensive yet accessible exploration of these topics, making it an essential read for anyone interested in understanding the fundamentals of our climate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854639386860,"sku":"9780300259438","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780300259438.jpg?v=1759250531","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/less-heat-more-light-by-john-d-aber-9780300259438","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
