Reviews'This updated edition of a highly acclaimed book on the complex issues of climate change, societal implications, rational policy options and political challenges, is skillfully written for readers of all backgrounds. The presentation strikes the right balance by giving enough technical detail to explain the scientific evidence while candidly describing the remaining uncertainties and addressing the objections of the climate skeptics and deniers. I highly recommend it as a graduate and undergraduate textbook and as a book that should be high on everyone's reading list, including policy makers - the issues are that important.' Neal Lane, Rice University; former science advisor to President Clinton; former director of the U.S. National Science Foundation
