Contents:
Holocene climate variability and global warming / Richard W. Battarbee -- Holocene climate research : progress, paradigms, and problems / H. John B. Birks -- The role of people in the Holocene / Frank Oldfield -- Modeling the climate of the Holocene / Michel Crucifix -- The early to mid-Holocene thermal optimum in the North Atlantic / Eystein Jansen, Carin Andersson, Matthias Moros, Kerim H. Nisancioglu, Birgitte F. Nyland, and Richard J. Telford -- Holocene climate change and the evidence for solar and other forcings / Jürg Beer and Bas van Geel -- Climate of the past millennium : combining proxy data and model simulations / Hugues Goosse, Michael E. Mann, and Hans Renssen -- Latitudinal linkages in late Holocene moisture-balance variation / Dirk Verschuren and Dan J. Charman -- Holocene rapid land-cover changes : evidence and theory / Martin Claussen -- Holocene perspectives on future climate change / Raymond S. Bradley.
Summary: Whilst there is now overwhelming evidence that greenhouse-gas pollution is becoming the dominant process responsible for global warming, it is also clear that the climate system varies quite naturally on different time-scales. Predicting the course of future climate change consequently requires an understanding of the natural variability of the climate system as well as the effects of human-induced change. This book is concerned with our current understanding of natural climate change, its variability on decadal to centennial time-scales, the extent to which climate models of different kinds s.
