Why read it?
1 author picked Global Warming as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Archer, a computational ocean chemist at the University of Chicago, is best-known for his work on the carbon cycle and its interaction with global climate, past, present, and future.
While Archer’s credentials may have some readers thinking of a starchy academic paper, Archer’s book is quite accessible, and a very good start to understanding the science of climate change. Howard Falcon Lang of the University of Bristol calls it ”a tour de force of elegant exposition on one of the most important issues of our time.”
It is not only accessible, but also lucid and sometimes entertaining.
From Bruce's list on climate change and how to deal with it.
