Klappentext zu „The Science and Politics of Global Climate Change “
This third edition has been comprehensively updated to reflect the large changes in scientific knowledge and policy debates on climate change since the previous edition in 2009. It provides a concise but thorough overview of the science, technology, economics, policy, and politics of climate change in a single volume. It explains how scientific and policy debates work, outlines the scientific evidence for the reality and seriousness of climate change and the basic atmospheric science that supports it, and discusses policy options and the current state of the policy debate. By pulling these elements together, the book explains why the issue can be so confusing and provides guidance on practical routes forward. Anyone interested in climate change, the global environment, or how science is used in policy debates should read this book. It is the ideal textbook for undergraduate or graduate courses in environmental policy and climate change.

Pressezitat
'This updated edition of a highly acclaimed book on the complex issues of climate change, societal implications, rational policy options and political challenges, is skillfully written for readers of all backgrounds. The presentation strikes the right balance by giving enough technical detail to explain the scientific evidence while candidly describing the remaining uncertainties and addressing the objections of the climate skeptics and deniers. I highly recommend it as a graduate and undergraduate textbook and as a book that should be high on everyone's reading list, including policy makers - the issues are that important.' Neal Lane, Rice University; former science advisor to President Clinton; former director of the U.S. National Science Foundation
