Climate Change: Picturing the Science

People with the understanding of climate change have often problem how to transfer this knowledge to a layperson. With this picture-book, you have a great companion, as the photographer came a far way to picture such an abstract issue as climate change. And not just that. The author of the text, Mr. Schmidt, is the foremost climate scientist with a gift to explain complex issues in plain language. In this book, you can not just read or see the issue, but you can feel it and think about the consequences.

This book is a wonderful combination of the imagery and science. At one level, it could be a fascinating book about the wonders of scientific research, while at another it could be a collection of wonderful photography from scientists around the world. Seamlessly combining these two fronts, while elucidating the truth about climate change in a very real and striking way, "Climate Change: Picturing the Science" allows its readers to literally see what is happening to our world and those who are searching for a cure.

This book makes the case for anthropomorphic global warming in accessible way for nonscientists like me. The photos and occassional graphs gave life to the text. An excellent read but a very depressing subject. It's even more depressing that all this hard work of many hard working and dedicated climatologists is getting picked apart and misconstrued by Fox News and the denialist industry spawned by the dollars of the carbon extraction industries. But that's another book, Climate Cover-Up by James Hoggan.

This item arrived in good order and I have no complaints. Thanks for the service and I look forward to making additional orders when I can afford to do so.

Gavin Schmidt is an actual (gasp) climate scientist, one who has published extensively in the peer reviewed science journals. He moderates the web site [...]Al Gore's AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH is OK at a popular level. For those wanting more -- this is a good place to start.The AGW denialists will hate it!John Burgeson

This pictorial does little to enlighten the debate over the role of anthropogenic carbon in climate change.

This is a beautifully produced book that helps readers learn about the excitement of doing science by introducing some of the scientists responsible for learning about climate change. It makes a critically important and technical subject approachable from a human perspective.

One sided viewpoint! Guess which side? What a crock! Book was required for a course I took.

Overall it's a good book to gain knowledge about the changing climate.

Very nice coffee table book. The potential will improve as time goes on and the changes accumulate.
