Global warming is addressed by almost all sciences including many aspects of geosciences, atmospheric, the biological sciences, and even astronomy. It has recently become the concern of other diverse disciplines such as economics, agriculture, demographics and population statistics, medicine, engineering, and political science. This book addresses these complex interactions, integrates them, and derives meaningful conclusions and possible solutions. The text provides an easy-to-read explanation of past and present global climate change, causes and possible solutions to the problem, including the politics and reasons why this is such a politically charged issue.

This review is from: Hot House: Global Climate Change and the Human Condition (Hardcover)
Kudos to the Author Robert Strom, this is a book that would be of interest to anyone trying to get a grasp on the general health of the planet and where global climate change is taking us.He takes a very comprehensive look through all the scientific literature on global warming; the science paints a very bleak picture. The book is a bit dry at times but that is to be expected for this type of book, certainly that was not a detractor as the information is excellent. If you want hard information this is an excellent resource.
