Recently I have decided to get more information on climate change and this book by Tim Flannery was excellent. It lays out a lot of science that is very alarming but also manages to put it in an easy to understand context. The story telling style is easy to read and the topics well arranged.As a novel whose purpose is to educate people on the science of climate change and a call to action this book really hits the mark. If you have a climate change sceptic friend or relative then please buy them this book and ask them to argue the science.The 'what you can do' section at the end is pretty light on so if you are looking for answers to the issue this isn't going to fill the void. The main point is that until we get a common consensus that this IS a major problem and that we need to do something about it, the best thing we can do is to alert others to the problem and this book did that for me.
