The  problem is a complex one, however, demanding a multi-disciplinary  approach. A simple cost-benefit analysis cannot capture the  essentials, nor can the issue be reduced to an emissions reduction  game, as the Kyoto process tries to do. It is much more sensible to  adopt an integrative approach, which reveals that global climate  change needs to be considered as a spider in a web, a triggering  factor for a range of other, related problems - land use  changes, water supply and demand, food supply, energy supply, human  health, air pollution, etc. But an approach like this, which takes  account of all items of knowledge, known and uncertain, does not  produce clear-cut, final and popular answers. It does provide useful  insights, however, which will allow comprehensive and effective  long-term climate strategies to be put into effect. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eClimate Change: An Integrated Perspective\u003c\/em\u003e will appeal to a broad  spectrum of readers. It is a useful source for the climate-change  professionals, such as policy makers and analysts, natural and social  scientists. It is also suitable for educationalists, students and  indeed anyone interested in the fascinating world of multidisciplinary  research underlying our approach to this global change issue.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-12-06\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789048153312\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/0-306-47982-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 414\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50297602506892,"sku":"9789048153312","price":152.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789048153312.jpg?v=1779935838","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9789048153312","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
