Earth's Dynamic Systems: The Greenhouse Effect
By Aira Astralis
Length1h 51m
About this audiobook
The greenhouse effect is the reason Earth is warm: without the atmosphere's blanket of trace gases, the planet would average thirty-three degrees colder, a frozen ice ball with no oceans and no us. This book explains the whole effect in plain, equation-free language, from its founding history to its planetary extremes and its human present.
