Paperback. The climate crisis is on the brink of its threshold of no return, and there is great urgency for finding a viable solution to this existential threat. But many have still not woken up to the seriousness of the situation. This book attempts to remove some of the key knowledge barriers and proposes a radically new strategy to treat the crisis. The book takes the reader on a learning journey through the cause of global warming, the impacts of climate change, and the science behind changes in the Earths climate system. A detailed introduction to how the Earths climate system is monitored by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) using projects such as the Clouds and the Earths Radiant Energy System (CERES) project follows, and how the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) teams together with climate modelling centres to predict future climate change using climate models is explained. The reader is treated with a history lesson on the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and its Conference of the Parties (COPs) as well as the Paris Agreement, the latter of which signals the beginning of an organised effort to tackle the climate issue. The role of renewable energy in the energy transition is elaborated. Attention next dwells on the state of the global climate near 1.50C. The final chapter proposes a new climate action framework and action strategy, dubbed the rationalised net-zero strategy, that employs an innovative process to include external influences on climate action into a new unified strategy. The book is primarily intended for climate policymakers, NGOs, climate action practitioners and advocates, as well as academics, government and private sector decision-makers and the climate-conscious public at large.

The book takes the reader on a learning journey through the cause of global warming, the impacts of climate change, and the science behind changes in the Earth’s climate system. A detailed introduction to how the Earth’s climate system is monitored by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA) and the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) using projects such as the Clouds and the Earth’s Radiant Energy System (CERES) project follows, and how the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) teams together with climate modelling centres to predict future climate change using climate models is explained.
