Summary

If climate catastrophes like Hurricane Sandy seem to be on the rise, it’s for a reason. The likelihood of these extreme weather events are increasingly being tied to man-made global warming, mostly through overproduction of carbon dioxide. It’s no longer an abstract idea; it’s being felt locally, on every level.

Climate Change and Extreme Weather gives you the tools to better understand what’s behind climate change, what might be in store during the coming decades, and how we can begin to reverse the detrimental effects mankind has had on the atmosphere.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

The material is all a bit dated (much of it more than 10 years old). Also, not enough about extreme weather, which was the reason I selected it in the first place. The politics of climate change sections are old news, and Michael Mann’s Climate War is much better. Also, Greta Thunberg’s The Climate Book is a far better synopsis of topics related to climate change.
