How did the global climate change issues emerge? The issue of human-induced global climate change became a major environmental concern during the twentieth century. In response to growing concern about human-induced global climate change, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was formed in 1988. Written by its first chairman, this book is an overview of the history of the IPCC. It describes and evaluates the intricate interplay between key factors in the science and politics of climate change, the strategy that has been followed, and the regretfully slow pace in getting to grips with the uncertainties that have prevented earlier action being taken. The book also highlights the emerging conflict between establishing a sustainable global energy system and preventing a serious change in global climate. This text provides researchers and policy makers with an insight into the history of the politics of climate change.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A must have book for anyone serious about climate literacy

    Amazon would do the world a big favor by making this book available on Kindle.
    I bought a used copy because of my limited income. Had I known beforehand the importance of this book's content, I would have rushed to buy it sooner at full price?
    Believe me, the introduction to climate science in the first chapter is worth a lot for anyone interested in climate science and its origins. You can read Spencer Weart's book, The Discovery of Global Warming for free online and gain a lot of knowledge, but in Bolin's introduction, you'll find some good information not available in other books on climate science. See the brief histories, for example.

    Yes, buy this book because you want to know about the IPCC and how it's structured and what it actually does for us.

    Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2009

    Bert Bolin's book on climate change is an essential text for anyone looking at the role of science in the climate change negotiations. He was the first chair of the IPCC, but wrote the book after leaving the post and shortly before his death. As a result, while drawing on his personal experiences, he writes from the perspective of an "inside-outsider". His analysis shows how thorough the IPCC process was in achieving consensus and puts down, with effectiveness, the "deniers" who question the agreed science. Additionally, his narrative shows how international agreements are reached: by consensus, slowly, but thoroughly, something that only insiders are really able to observe.
