What do oil spills, coal mine disasters, solar panels, wind turbines, coral reefs, migratory birds, water shortages, and ocean dead zones have in common? They are tied together by global warming and climate change. This book encapsulates the most advanced thinking about what climate change will do to the Earth, and what we can do to reverse it, as reported in over 200 of the most important scientific papers of the past year. The papers are summarized to make them easily understandable, and open up a whole field of information not accessible any other way. The summaries are a terrific introduction to the ins and outs of one of the most important issues of our lifetimes.
