One of England’s most talented young comic artists offers up a scathingly funny and carefully researched exploration of climate change, presenting it to readers through the eyes of an idealistic adolescent, a fat cat businessman, and a mad scientist. The book explains the science behind global warming, shows how it is progressing, and says what is being and not being done to stop the problem. Detailed references, suggestions for further reading, and lists of climate change organizations and websites open up possibilities for future exploration by readers, while the comic book format piques the interest of even the most reluctant.

A terrific book on the impact of global warming,

This review is from: Funny Weather: Everything You Didn't Want to Know About Climate Change But Probably Should Find Out (Paperback)
Easy to read. All the science is up to date (as of 2006), but the book put's it all into clear writing so you don't have to be a scientist to understand the issues.
It's nicely drawn as a comic book, and the characters have interesting dialogue. The comic book format makes it easier to read without getting bored or losing focus. It's the best introductory book on climate change that I've come across, and now I'm buying copies to lend out to friends. It seems like climate change is finally a matter everyone is getting interested in, and most of us need to be caught up on what the current projections and scenarios are. This book has an introduction by George Monbiot (who spent the past 3 years researching global warming for his 2006 book "Heat"). I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!
