Climate Change Facts: What We Know by Echo Point Books & Media

This audiobook, an updated edition, serves as a guide to the fundamental science of climate change and a call to action. Most scientists concur that human activities have significantly boosted greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, particularly since the 1970s. Despite this, global warming doubters and uninformed officials persist in disregarding this widespread scientific agreement. In this revised edition, MIT atmospheric scientist Kerry Emanuel details the basics of global warming and how the current consensus has developed. While predicting the exact timing of severe effects is challenging, we can trust that real threats lie ahead. Emanuel cautions that global warming may intensify hurricanes, increase flooding, and accelerate desert expansion. However, our actions, which created this impending crisis, could also mitigate it. Emanuel urges swift action to reduce greenhouse gases and criticizes the media for minimizing global warming's risks (and, in pursuit of balance, quoting deniers).
