Riassunto:

The Weather Makers is both an urgent warning and a call to arms, outlining the history of climate change, how it will unfold over the next century, and what we can do to prevent a cataclysmic future. For the first time, a scientist provided an accessible and comprehensive account of climate change, writing what has been acclaimed by reviewers, scientists, and policy makers around the world as the definitive book on global warming. Reprint.

Recensione: At last, here is a clear and readable account of one of the most important but controversial issues facing everyone in the world today. If you are not already addicted to Tim Flannery's writing, discover him now: The Weather Makers is his best book yet.” Jared Diamond, author of Collapse and Guns, Germs & Steel

He makes sure that you will never again look at an electric-light switch in quite the same way. . . . Gives his material . . . [an] impassioned, fiery tone . . . He builds a galvanizing, intentionally polarizing case for the urgency of altering our patterns of energy use. . . . Detail-packed to the point of terrible fascination.” Janet Maslin, New York Times
