Our knowledge of the earth's atmosphere is very limited. In this book Philip Eden defines the distinction between weather and climate. He then explores weather and climate throughout the past, during the present, and into the future.
Eden discusses weather's effect on human life - everyday, commercial ,and political; our desire and ability to predict its fluctuations; and our inability to control it, while, at the same time, inadvertently changing it through phenomena like global warming.
He covers the differences between causing small controlled changes to local weather and accidental and uncontrolled changes to global climate. Eden also offers some ideas about how weather and climate may change over the next 100 years.
