Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming – Review
This book is truly amazing. It’s so hard to find any book that deals with global warming in any way that doesn’t go to one extreme or the other. Instead, Chris Mooney goes a very balanced aspect of the debate on the global warming/hurricane connection. The science is fully explained well, and simply enough for a layman, so anyone with even a small knowledge or hurricanes and/or global warming would follow it easily. The generally electrifying part for me is the individual tales of the major scientists included in the debate. It’s easy to assume that anyone who is such a stubborn denier of global warming such as Dr. Bill Gray would be a political conservative. It’s clear from this book that he is not. The way politics considers on such famous scientists as Drs. Gray and Emanuel is equally fascinating. No one still taught us how not to have our views altered by the media and commonly used for political agendas when we were in college. Glenn Schwartz Chief Meteorologist NBC10 Philadelphia
