This textbook is a rigorous, physics-based framework that applies classical thermodynamic principles to analyze the causes, impacts, and potential solutions to global climate change. The text treats the Earth as a massive thermodynamic system governed by the laws of energy conservation and heat transfer.

Key Topics
