I've placed this here as the book is on the science, and not on emotions!
Climate Change: The Science, Impacts and Solutions
Dr A. Barrie Pittock
Full Book Review
Résumé:
If I were to say that this book was unique, I would be accused of using a hackneyed technique of criticism. However, this time, I really do believe that there is no other impartial work on the subject matter which can compare with Dr Pittock's Magnus Opus. You would be perfectly justified in asking me why I believe this and I shall try to explain my position in the full review above.
It is probably easier to say who should not read this book than who should read it! If you do not have at least a reasonable knowledge of high school science, then you will probably get lost off with some of the explanations, despite the extensive glossary. It is not light bedtime reading, like an Agatha Christie. It requires concentration because the text itself is highly concentrated. However, if this subject is of interest, then you will find the book fascinating. It is certainly, up to this moment, the most up-to-date, factual work on the subject that I have ever had the pleasure of reading through. It should be required reading for every politician in every country to understand the problems that we are being confronted with. It should also be required reading for anybody who has even a remotely indirect connection with the energy industry -- remembering that most of us have a direct connection through the nearest light switch! Coming to think of it, just read it! You will not find a better impartial discussion of the subject in any other book that I know of.
