In 'Man and Climate,' Jacques Labeyrie offers a synthesis of current knowledge about the long-term evolution of climate. The author describes the birth of the atmosphere, the Earth's climatic past, and the relationships between life and climate. It analyzes how the climatic impact not only caused the disappearance of the dinosaurs, but also influenced the rise and fall of civilizations. An important chapter is devoted to pollution generated by industrial production and energy consumption, examining human responsibility in climate change. This book is of interest to both scientists and the general public, inviting reflection on how humanity can disrupt natural evolution and endanger living conditions on the planet.
