Climate Change: The Root Causes and Ways to Overcome Climate Change focuses on the underlying cause of global warming, investigates other possible causes, and evaluates ways to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. The book includes a discussion on atmospheric chemistry and the effects of CO₂ in the atmosphere, the influence of ozone on global warming, a history of the earth’s climate, solar radiation changes, the effect of space weather on global warming, agricultural practices and global warming, and the effect of the Earth’s movements.

Gives an underlying explanation of the root causes of climate change through an in-depth look at atmospheric chemistry and the role of CO₂ in the heating of the planet
Written by world experts in the field of climate change, giving readers the most up-to-date knowledge on each topic
Evaluates ways of reducing human reliance on fossil fuels

Professor Trevor Letcher is an Emeritus Professor at the University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, and living in the United Kingdom. He was previously Professor of Chemistry, and Head of Department, at the University of the Witwatersrand, Rhodes University, and Natal, in South Africa (1969-2004). He has published over 300 papers on areas such as chemical thermodynamic and waste from landfill in peer reviewed journals, and 100 papers in popular science and education journals. Prof. Letcher has edited and/or written 32 major books, of which 22 were published by Elsevier, on topics ranging from future energy, climate change, storing energy, waste, tyre waste and recycling, wind energy, solar energy, managing global warming, plastic waste, renewable energy, and environmental disasters. He has been awarded gold medals by the South African Institute of Chemistry and the South African Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics honoured him with a Festschrift in 2018. He is a life member of both the Royal Society of Chemistry (London) and the South African Institute of Chemistry. He is on the editorial board of the Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics, and is a Director of the Board of the International Association of Chemical Thermodynamics since 2002.
