Carbon War: Global Warming and the End of the Oil Era
Carbon War: Global Warming and the End of the Oil Era – Review
For a geologist Jeremy Leggett is a suprisingly talented writer. As originally described in the prior reviews he details some of the history starting up to the Kyoto accords and provides insight from the participants perception. The meetings, the debates, the radio and TV interviews are all here. You will besides read about all the tension and conflict that this international problem with its immense economic immplications brings to a head. This book is mainly about the policy of the world climate change policies and does not have very much content deeming the art of climate change. I would have liked to see further of the science and perhaps a mostly bit less of the notes of meetings after more meetings. If you need to learn more about the science I would recommend Spencer Weart’s The Discovery of Global Warming and John Houghton’s Global Warming: The Complete Briefing. If you need to widely read about the war between Exxon,big Coal,corporate media, and environmentalists, scientists, and the countries that are first in line to suffer from the consequences of global warming this is your book.
