Synopsis
The Rough Guide to Climate Change gives the complete picture of the single biggest issue facing the planet. Cutting a swathe through scientific research and political debate, this completely updated 2nd edition lays out the facts and assesses the options- global and personal- for dealing with the threat of a warming world. The guide looks at the evolution of our atmosphere over the last 4.5 billion years and what computer simulations of climate change reveal about our past, present, and future. This updated edition includes new information from the 2007 report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and an updated politics section to reflect post-Kyoto developments. Discover how rising temperatures and sea levels, plus changes to extreme weather patterns, are already affecting life around the world. The guide unravels how governments, scientists and engineers plan to tackle the problem and includes in-depth information and lifestyle tips about what you can do to help.

April 29, 2009: This book will open your eyes to the world and what is going on in it. Bascialy saying we all need to wake up before this world that we live in is no longer here.
The book talks a lot about everything about the environment who scientist that believe the world is in trouble that humans are responsible yet there are others who say that this is natura. The author does look at both sides of the case and gives little history on some of the things that have happend and includes some things that will happen if we do not do anything now. This book I can read all the time keep it on my bookshelf. Everyone should read this.
