Journey Into Climate

Journey Into Climate

Paul Andrew Maywewski

Michael Cope Morrison

The adventure and excitement behind climate research in the polar regions and the world�s high mountains.

In this collection of adventure stories and restored period photos, authors Paul Andrew Mayewski and Michael Cope Morrison tell their personal experiences going to some of the Earth�s most remote and challenging places, the scientific discoveries they made there, and the journey that they, and the scientific community, made from a "gradualist" viewpoint - thinking that humanity was an inconsequential observer in a slowly changing climate - to the realization that we are deeply and irrevocably involved in the short- and long-term fate of a temperamental climate capable of dramatic changes in a matter of only a few years. They also tell of discovering the worldwide reach of industrial emissions; their effects on climate, Civilization, ecosystems, and our individual quality of life; the remarkable success of the Clean Air Act and the Montreal Protocols; and how some of the effects can clear up in weeks or months - and others only over centuries.
