About the book
A well documented summary of studies relating to the effects of climate change. The chapters are organized by the effects on people, the economy,and the climate for every additional degree of temperature increase. The book is written for an educated layman and is quite interesting. Over half of the book is dedicated to an extensive bibliography which is very thorough and useful for further research.
