| Abstract: | Accessible account by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change member and Nobel laureate of impact of ice on Earth, its climate and human residents, and reciprocal impact of humanity on ice and climate. Covers exploration of cold regions, ice ages, influence of ice on climate and Holocene warming. Examines evidence for recent anthropogenic warming and impacts on ice sheets, sea ice, snow cover and permafrost. Discusses current and potential future impacts on human and other life on Earth, and notion that "tipping point" is imminent. Discusses mitigation strategies and places debate in economic and geopolitical context. |
