NEWTON HIGHLIGHT 145 Global Warming Textbook
Description
Book Introduction
On August 9, 2021, the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an agency of the United Nations, was released.
This report, produced by a collaboration of scientists around the world, synthesizes the latest knowledge and views on climate change, based on papers published in academic journals.
The Fifth Assessment Report, released in 2014, stated that “it is very likely that human activities are the primary cause of global warming,” but this time, it went so far as to assert that “there is no doubt that human activities are causing global warming.”
This means that global warming is undoubtedly human-caused.

Then, at the 26th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP26), held from October 31 to November 13, 2021, the goal of limiting the temperature rise to 1.5°C compared to pre-industrial levels was formally agreed upon.
To achieve this goal, we must reduce greenhouse gas emissions globally.
Amidst this situation, Korea announced an implementation plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 compared to 2018 levels and achieve 'carbon neutrality' by 2050.
What exactly is carbon neutrality, and what will it take to achieve it?

Newton's "Global Warming Textbook" is a book that gathers all the information, latest knowledge, and opinions you need to know about global warming, including simple questions like these.
Chapter 1 summarizes the latest reports on the Arctic and Antarctic, which are at risk due to climate change.
You can get a good idea of ​​what experts are researching about melting glaciers and permafrost.
The following two chapters explain the IPCC's Sixth Assessment Report, and Chapter 3 explains the impacts of global warming on natural disasters, ecosystems, agriculture, fisheries, and forestry.
Chapter 4 also discusses countermeasures against global warming, such as the development of natural energy.
The final five chapters report on natural disasters occurring around the world today, regardless of whether they are related to global warming.
The term global warming has now become a common phrase known to everyone.
But not many people know exactly what its current state is.
To accurately understand the reality, I highly recommend that you read this book.

Publisher's Review
● Introducing the latest report on the crisis in the Arctic and Antarctic.

Global warming is clearly occurring, and its effects are being felt in various places.
The causes and reality of global warming are explained in detail in Chapter 2 and later.
Chapter 1 presents the latest report on the current state of the Arctic and Antarctic, where global warming is having a major impact.


● Commentary on the latest report on global warming, the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report

On August 9, 2021, the Summary for Policymakers (SPM) of the Sixth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was released.
“The report is a code red for humanity,” said United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres.
We analyze the latest report on climate change, released seven years later, and consider the challenges facing our society.


● Explanation of disasters and impacts caused by global warming

Recently, disasters such as typhoons, heavy rains, and heat waves have been raging.
How does global warming contribute to these disasters, and to what extent does it impact them? And what about the impact on ecosystems, agriculture, fisheries, and other biological sectors? Chapter 3 examines the relationship between global warming and disasters.


Introduction to countermeasures against global warming

Global warming is an undeniable fact, and it has been asserted that humans are the cause.
And it is known that global warming is affecting many aspects.
This chapter introduces countermeasures to global warming, such as the use of renewable energy.


●Learn about natural disasters and space disasters

So far, we have looked at the causes, effects, and countermeasures of global warming.
The final five chapters present the latest reports on global warming and natural disasters occurring around the world today.
Next, the 'disaster' that comes from space is also explained.
