How Man Is Changing The Climate And What It Means For Life On Earth
BY TIM FLANNERY Both an urgent warning and a call to arms, "The Weather Makers" outlines the history and science of climate change, how it may unfold over the next century, and what people, industry and nations can do now to prevent a cataclysm in the future. Originally somewhat of a global warming skeptic, Tim Flannery spent several years researching the topic and offers a connect-the-dots approach for a reading public who has received patchy or misleading information on the subject. Pulling on his expertise as a scientist to discuss climate change from a historical perspective, Flannery also explains how climate change is interconnected across the planet.
