This is an invaluable textbook for any introductory survey course
on the science and policy of climate change, for both non-science
majors and introductory science students. The second edition has
been thoroughly updated to reflect the most recent science from the
latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change reports, and many
illustrations include new data. The new edition also reflects
advances in the political debate over climate change. Unique
amongst textbooks on climate change, it combines an introduction to
the science with an introduction to economic and policy issues, and
is tightly focused on anthropogenic climate change. It contains the
necessary quantitative depth for students to properly understand
the science of climate change. It supports students in using
algebra to understand simple equations and to solve end-of-chapter
problems. Supplementary online resources include a complete set of
PowerPoint figures for instructors, solutions to exercises, videos
of the author's lectures, and additional computer exercises.
