Does anyone have good books to recommend on global warming?
- hadsed 7y agoI recently read, The Uninhabitable Earth. It came out this year I believe, and pulls absolutely no punches... Not even in the title! https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41552709-the-uninhabitable-earth https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/41552709-the-uninhabitab...
- gdubs 7y agoSame author who wrote the New York Magazine story on Climate Change a little while back, which scared the pants off everyone. Promoted debate over whether fear is a good or bad motivator to get people to change behavior. My personal opinion is that it is. Or at a minimum, the watered down, conservative IPCC narratives really failed to move politicians and the general public.
- perfunctory 7y agoI am now going through "Climate Change in a Nutshell: The Gathering Storm" paper by James Hansen [0]. It seems to give a good overview of the current state of the art. I would second "The Uninhabitable Earth" as well. [0] http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2018/20181206_Nutshell.pdf http://www.columbia.edu/~jeh1/mailings/2018/20181206_Nutshel...
