- Summary:
- Climate change has become a dominant theme of global politics. But it seems that no one really understands global warming as it prepares to enter its third decade. In this collection of essays, leading scientists and commentators from the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia consider the climate from every angle: the science, the policy and the politics.
