Summary:
"United Nations
water
expert Robert Sandford takes the reader on a thought-provoking tour of a
world
where
water
, weather, cities, landscapes, economies, even entire cultures, are dramatically impacted by a
changing
climate
. Human beings and industrial-based society are
changing
the composition of our planet's atmosphere and causing it to warm at an unnatural and oftentimes astonishingly rapid rate. Much of that warmth is being absorbed by
water
, which as a result is moving through the global hydrological cycle faster and in unprecedented ways. A warmer atmosphere carries more
water
vapour, which means that as temperatures continue to rise, storms will become more intense, last longer and cause more damage to our towns, cities and vital infrastructure. On the other side of the hydro-climate coin, we can also expect deeper and more persistent droughts throughout the
world
, resulting in dramatic crop losses, difficult economic outcomes and fundamental alterations to landscape. How changes in the
water
cycle have already begun to affect how we think about and value
water
security
and
climate
stability and what we can do to ensure a sustainable future for our children and grandchildren. Robert William Sandford lives in Canmore, Alberta."--Provided by publisher.
