LIVING IN THE HOTHOUSE - How Global Warming Affects Australia
by Ian Lowe
In Australia and around the world, the signs of global warming are dramatic and disturbing. There can no longer be any question that climate change is happening, that it can be traced to human activity, and that we need to respond urgently if we are to prevent catastrophic changes to global systems. Australia's fragile environment leaves us extremely vulnerable to the effects of climate change.
LIVING IN THE HOTHOUSE presents a comprehensive review of the current scientific knowledge of global warming and a balanced explanation of the effects it will have on our daily lives - on climate, on energy and water consumption, on agriculture and land use, and on industry and the economy.
Professor Lowe, president of the Australian Conservation Foundation and author of Living in the Greenhouse has been studying climate change for may years. His book will help all Australians understand the challenges of global warming and to take responsibility for planning and creating a sustainable future.
