Description: What happens when the climate changes abruptly and dramatically, not as part of a natural process of change but because of human activity? The result is more frequent and stronger heat waves, storms, torrential rain, raging winds, and hurricanes. This fascinating book uses real-life examples to explore the causes and effects of catastrophic weather.
