An excellent, brief, readable summary of the evidence for global warming, its scientific explanation, its consequences and the sorry history of our leaders' response to the problem over the last thirty years. The anecdotes and character sketches of the scientists involved bring the issues to life.
The weakness of the book is the lack of pictures and colour graphics to complement the excellent writing. Let us hope that the next edition will remedy this and bring the book to a wider audience.
Paraphrasing the last two paragraphs of the book to show its excellence:
'Ice cores show the last glaciation was a time of frequent and traumatic climate swings. During that period, humans who were, genetically ... Read More:
