Long Range Planning
I can recommend (this book) to anyone who wants to get a better perspective on the topic of global warming a very readable and comprehensive guide to the changes that are occurring now, and could occur in the future, as a result of human action brings the global warming debate right up to date Read Houghtons book if you really want to understand both the scientific and political issues involved. William Harston, The Independent
precise account of the science, accompanied by figures, graphs, boxes on specific points, and summaries at the end of each chapter, with questions for
