review 1: Very sobering treatise on climate change. Includes a point by point refutation of the "denier's" points.The major point that sticks out in my mind is the comparison between the extensive peer-reviewing of the IPCC report versus the comparatively slap-dash process of the other side. It also explains to me why the IPCC report has been described as being on the conservative side of the projections and that things may actually become worse than the report says.Highly recommended to all with an interest in the subject of climate change.
review 2: A world without ice is a depressing book. It's depressing mostly because it's true. The book demystifies and make approachable climate science. It describes how generations of unappreciated and hardy "cinderella" scientis
... morets working away at their remote posts are uncovering trends. It describes various trends in ice, geology and ecosystems that are in motion in the arctic and the antarctic. It describes various possible scenarios that'll we'll have to adapt depending on if and what actions we take to mitigate the climate problem. In short - it's a must read for anyone who is concerned about the planet he/she lives on! less
