What the science says -- What's actually happening -- What's likely to happen in the future -- Can we avoid the risks of climate change? -- The IPCC [i.e., Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change] is what, exactly?
Sixty easy-to-read essays that enlarge our understanding of how climate change affects our daily lives, and arms us with the incontrovertible facts we need to make informed decisions about the future of the planet, and of humankind.
Global Weirdness summarizes everything we know about the science of climate change, explains what is likely to happen to the climate in the future, and lays out, in practical terms, what we can do to avoid further shifts.
