The oceans exert a vital moderating influence on the Earth's climate system. They provide inertia to the global climate, essentially acting as the pacemaker of climate variability and change, and they provide heat to high latitudes, keeping them habitable. This title offers a short, self-contained introduction to the subject.

How can we tell who is right, and how we should respond And why is there no scientific consensus on a matter of such vital importance This work addresses these questions. It describes how the interplay between familiar phenomena, winds and clouds, light and air, maintains climates that permit a diversity of fauna and flora to flourish on Earth.

The atmosphere is critical to climate change. It can amplify shifts in the climate system, and also mitigate them. This primer offers a short, reader-friendly introduction to these atmospheric processes and how they work. It looks at how our climate system receives energy from the sun and sheds it by emitting infrared radiation back into space.
