The Coming Storm: Extreme Weather and Our Terrifying Future - E-book - ePub

New second edition of the classic, very readable book by Bob Reiss. Its original edition made the connection between man-made global climate change and extreme weather events before scientists would openly admit this would be the result. At the time its conclusions and predictions were controversial and astonishing. Now they are prescient and confirmed by nearly every reputable climatologist. Free of unnecessary scientific jargon and filled with the human and political dimensions of this story, this book reads like a mystery novel where you already know the terrifying outcome."The most readable and intelligent summary of global warming science and politics I have read ...
a valiant effort to make people actually care about global warming." -- Bill McKibben in the New York ObserverAdding a new preface by the author, this edition brings back to life the compelling account of the link between climate and weather disasters.
