“I found it a bit difficult to get into this book. This is very much a biography, or rather autobiography, of the creation of the interdisciplinary climate science and the battle to get climate concerns recognized, not only by governments and the public, but by other scientists as well. What I found interesting about the book was how climatology developed over time, how models were developed, forecasts corrected, and the like. Climate change is, and has been, a very important part of the public's interest since the first Earth Day, and this book may be of interest to those who are interested in the overall history of the climate change question, but if your interest is learning about climate change itself and how theories and hypotheses progressed, you may be somewhat disappointed.”
