The Science and Politics of Global Climate Change: A Guide to the Debate
The Science and Politics of Global Climate Change: A Guide to the Debate – Review
The book contains a rational stance from the change of observations in science to a political conclusion and what to do about climate change. This is two books. One is the science of global warming and climate change. The other is about politics. The science side is commonly abbreviated. The authors prevent an detailed discussion and rely typically on correlations for explanation. A graph on page 74 is visually stunning. It is a better match than Gore’s correlation from An Inconvenient Truth. I had just hoped that the authors had eventually talked about laboratory outcomes of experiments on greenhouse gases. The politics side is wordy and a mostly bit predictable, although Dessler and Parson do a excellent job in effectively making a very logical and strong case.
