Carbon, Climate and Photosynthesis

Catalog description

Covers the history of planet Earth's climate, how the scientific community came to understand photosynthesis, and how recent discoveries in science have placed the responsibility for many of the changes in the prehistoric climate to evolutionary adaptions in photosynthesis metabolism. Uses a paleontological perspective to give a deeper insight into the current science of human-caused climate change by reviewing its origins in the modification of the carbon cycle.
