Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, humans have become weather makers. As we fuel our activities, we create ozone-destroying chemicals and greenhouse gases that have altered global weather patterns and increased the potential for extreme weather events. Now, for the first time, a scientist provides an accessible and comprehensive account of the history, current status, and future impact of climate change. The enormity of what Flannery projects is hard to imagine, but his clear prose and well substantiated theories leaves little doubt to any open-minded reader.
