  abstract: At a time when the evidence is stronger than ever that human activity is the primary cause of global climate change, William Ruddiman's breakthrough text returns in a thoroughly updated new edition. A gain drawing on a variety of scientific disciplines, the new edition offers a clear, engaging, objective portrait of the current state of climate science, including compelling recent findings on anthropogenic global warming and important advances in understanding past climates.
