  • Visualizing Climate Change

    A Guide to Visual Communication of Climate Change and Developing Local Solutions

    by Stephen R.J. Sheppard ...
    Carbon dioxide and global climate change are largely invisible, and the prevailing imagery of climate change is often remote (such as ice floes melting) or abstract and scientific (charts and global temperature maps).Using dramatic visual imagery such as 3D and 4D visualizations of future landscapes, community mapping, and iconic photographs, this book demonstrates new ways to make carbon and ...

    The New Climate Science that Changes Everything

    by Patrick J. Michaels, Paul C. Knappenberger ...
    In Lukewarming, two environmental scientists explain the science and spin behind the headlines and come to a provocative conclusion: climate change is real, and partially man-made, but it is becoming obvious that far more warming has been forecast than will occur, with some of the catastrophic impacts implausible or impossible. Global warming is more lukewarm than hot. This fresh analysis is an ... Read more
