Climate. How everything works

Every child understands what the weather is. One has only to look out the window and it becomes clear: today it is cold and foggy or, on the contrary, clearly and windy. Prudent people look into the forecast every day: if a rainy day is expected, it is better to grab a cloak and go by bus, and when the sun shines, you can wear a dress or shorts and a T -shirt and go to school on a bicycle.
But what is the climate and why do we know about it? In this book, we will go into the past millions of years ago, go down to the bottom of the oceans, penetrate the bowels of the Earth and take off into outer space - and all this in order to find out how an amazing climatic machine works. We will try to figure out what the water cycle and carbon cycle are, how winds, waves, currents and clouds are born, what ancient secrets keep the ice and where the weather forecasts come from. We will find out what a huge role the climate plays in the history of our planet and in the fate of all living beings on it, and what kind of catastrophes it can lead to its sharp changes. And a variety of scientists will help us in this - meteorologists, oceanologists, volcanologists, paleoclimatologists - because they all explore the climate, its past, present and future
