What this book does well is it gives a basic overview of climate science in a way the average reader can understand, and allows us to think about the subject more effectively in order to make informed decisions with great care about the future of Earth.

A science-based dissection of how popular science and media, “The “Science,” so drastically and misleadingly depart from the actual science they purport to represent. From one of America’s leading and most fearless scientists. Utterly without polemics or hyperbole, Dr. Koonin shows through detailed analysis how the complex and imperfect climate models and data underlying UN and US reports do not support the Consensus among politicians and climate scientists that mere mortals may not challenge. A must read for any non-scientists serious about truly understanding the state and reliability of climate science and projections.

For years now if you question even one wildest predictions about climate change you’re thought of as a knuckle-dragging, Trump-supporting climate change denier. Koonin is not a climate change denier, but he is a disciplined scientist who is not afraid to look at the data and provide meaningful insight into the problem of man-made climate change and what to do about it. Given that our global leaders are poised to spend trillions of dollars and in the process, change the quality of life on the planet, the least we can do is listen to Koonan and the science.
