A beginner's guide What is the greenhouse effect? Scientists see a real risk that the climate will change rapidly and dramatically over the coming decades and centuries. Can we handle it? If the consequences of a problem are uncertain, do you ignore the problem or do you do something about it anyway? If a giant asteroid hits the earth, that?s nobody?s fault. The same cannot be said for global warming. If the whole world starts consuming more and living the good life, can the planet stand the strain? Emissions are still growing. Isn?t it time to take some serious action? How can we make our behavior and our economies more climate-friendly? How should we divide up the work - while sharing the burden fairly? I don?t want to spend more money on this than is absolutely necessary! The 21st century and beyond Top Print
