"This book demystifies atmospheric phenomena, from haloes to hurricanes, sundogs to supercells. It also addresses the issue of climate change, which has brought geography to the forefront of the political debate. To what extent is mankind responsible for the fact that 19 of the hottest 200 years on record have occurred since 1980? Even if carbon dioxide emissions were to be drastically curtailed, has the tipping point lready been reached?
Global temperatures have fluctuated considerably over the Earth's 4600-million-year history, and there is evidence to suggest of animal and plant life have occurred. It is a situation of few certainties, though one thing is clear: If Captain Smith were undertaking his voyage today, his vessel would complete its Atlantic crossing unhindered: the waters where Titanic foundered are now too warm to sustain icebergs."
