Brilliant and fundamental,this is the necessary book about our prime global emergency'Ian McEwan The news is full of hotly debated and divergent claims about the impacts and risks of climate change. Lawrence Krauss,one of the world's most respected physicists and science popularizers,cuts through the confusion by succinctly presenting the underlying science of climate change.The Physics of Climate Change provides a clear,accurate and accessible perspective of climate science and the risks of global inaction. Krauss's narrative explores the history of how scientists progressed to our current understanding of the Earth's climate and its future. Its generous complement of informative diagrams and illustrations allows readers to assess which climate predictions are securely based on analysis of empirical data,and which are more speculative.The Physics of Climate Change is required reading for anyone interested in understanding humanity's role in the future of our planet.

Brilliant and fundamental,this is the necessary book about our prime global emergency. Here you'll find the facts,the processes,the physics of our complex and changing climate,but delivered with eloquence and urgency. Lawrence Krauss writes with a clarity that transcends mere politics. Prose and poetry were never better bedfellowsIt is brimming with information lucidly analysed. Such hope as there is lies in science,and a physicist of Dr. Krauss's imaginative versatility is unusually qualified to offer itLucid and gripping,this study of the most severe challenge humans have ever faced leads the reader from the basic physics of climate change to recognition of the damage that humans have already caused and on to the prospects that lie ahead if we do not change course soonI strongly recommend his book
