Editorial Reviews
Review
'... there is a real need for a comprehensive book on climate change ... The Science and Politics of Global Change is it. It does exactly what the title and subtitle promise ... copies should be shipped to anyone who doubts the reality of climate change, starting with presidents in denial.' New Scientist
'... requires no specialised knowledge, but is accessible to any educated general reader who wants to make more sense of the climate change debate. It also sheds light on how science is used in policy debates.' The Chemical Engineer
'Each of the key aspects of global climate change is covered, with up-to-date and well-referenced information throughout. Its impressive breadth and the provision of succinct overviews of source material in the further reading sections of each chapter mean that teachers, lecturers and researchers will all find this book a useful starting point for in-depth study.' Times Higher Education Supplement

Book Description
Climate variability has become the primary environmental concern of the 21st Century. Yet, despite the scientific community's warnings of the imminent dangers of global warming, politicians world-wide have failed to agree on what to do about this potentially devastating environmental problem. This introductory primer informs scientists, policy makers and the general public by clarifying the conflicting claims of the debate.
