World Wisdom: Climate Peril: The Intelligent Reader's Guide to Understanding the Climate Crisis

I recently had a chance to read through an e-copy of Climate Peril: The Intelligent Reader's Guide to Understanding the Climate Crisis. The title makes it sound intimidating, but it really isn't. It's designed for people who have a general awareness but want to learn more - and want to actually understand the data and statistics behind the problem. It also shows current implications of the climate trends, including extreme weather events, but looking at very probably future scenarios based on current data and projections for the future. It's blunt about the possibilities without coming across as an irrational doomsday prophet, and worth the read if you want to learn more about the potential of what humankind has to face.
