Indicators of Climate Change focuses on the root causes of global warming and climate change. The book includes detailed discussions on the indicators of climate change, highlighting the rapidity of the changes. Indicators discussed in this book include the rise in the average atmospheric temperature, ocean heat, rising sea levels, melting ice sheets and glaciers, changes in plant adaption, changes in insect adaption, and weather pattern changes. The book also highlights fossil fuels, the root cause of climate change, and the urgency of the problem.
