The A-Z of Global Warming: Climate Change Clarified. [Kindle Edition]

I have read this book for my science project and anything I needed I found in this book. Excellent source of information. I would buy more science book from this author !!!!!!!!!!!!!

A well written and researched book on the subject, dealing with the known scientific facts on global warming, sourced by the author from many different reference points including NASA, NOAA, The World Wildlife Fund, and Sterns Review on the Economics of Climate Change to name a few. The A-Z format, makes this a very unusual and easy read in this particular subject matter, and the book comes with some intriguing and amusing illustrations which add a little light heartedness to this worrying subject. I was a little sceptical about the problem to be honest, but after reading this book, the scientific facts would appear clear... we dont' have much time left to take action to avert serious problems if the causes of global warming are not addressed soon! An essential read on the topic!

"A very interesting book, dealing with all aspects of climate change and global warming, and especially good for someone who knew very little about the subject, like myself ! The book is basically a factual account on the topic of global warming, with each chapter taking you through an alphabetic journey through the subject matter. Well written and illustrated throughout. A very handy and concise guide.... if not a little un-nerving ! "

Although the terminally inclement weather in Britain sometimes makes me wonder if and when global warming will affect this part of the world, Mr. Rosser's passionate and "ordinary person" approach to the subject is refreshing. He explains concepts of global warming in plain terms and the key points at the end of each chapter are very helpful.
Evidently, the author is also the artist. The drawings throughout the book are very appealing and nearly tell the story all on their own.

The book is just the right length and has nice feel to it. With so many books currently available on this subject, this one stands out as a favorite.

Nice A-Z format, but the writer has taken the "warmist / alarmist" one-sided view of the story. Using quotes from politically motivated NGOs such as the WWF and other such "green/eco" groups who survive on funds by perpetuating the myth does not help his case. The IPCC is mentioned on many occasions, despite the hundreds of errors and retractions made by this body making it untrustworthy as a source of any solid empirical facts. Most output from the IPCC is based on finger in the wind computer modelling, and cherry-picked data where possible (Yamal tree data, for example).
If one simply knows that a rise in temperature PRECEDES a rise in CO2 - something glossed over by the author as "open to interpretation" then 99% of the premise of this book is destroyed. And as for the typical alarmist "there's more CO2 now than in the last 650,000 million years", well in fact, the ice cores show measurements of over 400ppm as recently as about 1700AD. and 420ppm about 200AD. Ice cores show similar carbon dioxide levels intermittently over the last 10,000 years.
One could go through this book an discredit each point, but that should be down the to educated reader. It has been noted as recently as this week that the more scientifically educated one is, the more likely that person will be sceptical / not-concerned about man-made climate change / global warming / climate disruption / whatever it is today - see "The polarizing impact of science literacy and numeracy on perceived climate change risks".
So, yes, read this book, but do not let this be the end of your education. You NEED to balance your knowledge with books that take their data from non-biased politically-motivated sources.
