What We Know about Climate Change

This updated edition of a guide to climate change science and action presents the consensus that human activity has significantly increased greenhouse gases. Despite this scientific consensus, global warming skeptics and ill-informed officials continue to dismiss it.

MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel outlines the basic science of global warming and how it has emerged. While predicting the exact timing of its most dramatic effects is uncertain, we can be certain of the dangers it poses. Emanuel warns that global warming will intensify hurricanes, flooding, and desert advancement.

The updated edition offers a new foreword by former U.S. Representative Bob Inglis (R-SC), now working on climate action through his organization RepublicEN.
