Thought provoking, easy to read book with a compelling history of the climate changes around the globe. This book was more comprehensive than I thought it would be.

I am not a scientist. Before reading this book I kind of understood the terms âgreenhouse effectâ, âglobal warmingâ, etc. After reading this book I feel like I truly understand these terms and so much more about our climate and all the factors that influence it.

Flannery notes what is being done now and by whom â which countries are making changes to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and which ones are making the problem worse. He presents excellent suggestions for slowing global warming and the advantages/benefits to everyone (countries, people, animals, etc).

Global warming is having profound effects around the world.
