5.0 out of 5 stars Informative and engaging, 7 April 2009
This book presents a comprehensive review of the science, the social and environmental issues and the debates surrounding climate change, as well as reviewing various proposed ways of addressing the issues. The book is very accessible and well structured. It also deals with the common sceptical arguments thoroughly. The media tend to deal with issues such as climate change by presenting the case for and the case against as though they had equal backing, even where this is clearly not the case. This book provides a thorough review of the overwhelming scientific concensus that climate change is happening and of its causes. It leaves you with little doubt that the planet is warming and that this is caused by human activities. My only criticism would be that, after having clearly set out the enormity of the challenge facing humanity, the chapter about what we could do personally felt a little flimsy and left me feeling that global action is highly unlikely to be swift and far-reaching enough to address the problem.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dull, 6 Jul 2009
By David Kelly - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I never realised that the subject of climate change could be so boring. The first half of the book is fact after fact after fact. It does pick up a bit in the second half, but like many proposals to deal with global warming, it was too little, too late.

This book is clearly targeted at a British and American audience which is probably why every measurement is annoyingly given in both metric and imperial units
