A Global Warming Primer by Jeffrey Bennett

A Global Warming Primer by Jeffrey Bennett

The media often portrays our climate future as a choice between bleak and bleaker, which may seem justified given the many impacts of global warming that we are already seeing. But it doesn't have to be that way, because if we understand the science behind global warming, then we can also see a pathway to its solution. In this book, astrophysicist/educator Jeffrey Bennett uses a Q&A format to provide a brief and extremely clear overview of the surprisingly simple basic science behind global warming, of the consequences of this warming, and of solutions that can help us alleviate and eventually reverse those consequences. This will help readers understand how we can in principle create a 'post-global warming' future, meaning a future in which today's children will someday be able to talk about global warming as a once-serious problem that we found a way to solve.

Astrophysicist/Educator Jeffrey Bennett has been teaching and writing about global warming for more than 30 years. He is the lead author of college textbooks in astronomy, astrobiology, mathematics, and statistics, as well as of 6 critically acclaimed books for the general public and 7 science books for children. Dr. Bennett has received numerous awards for his teaching and writing, including the prestigious American Institute of Physics Science Communication Award and the Klopsteg Memorial award for education from the American Association of Physics Teachers.
