Global warming : the complete briefing / John Houghton.

Climate wars : the fight for survival as the world overheats / Gwynne Dyer.

"The need for effective communication, public outreach, and education to increase support for policy, collective action, and behavior change is ever present and is perhaps most pressing in the context of anthropogenic climate change. This book is the first to take a comprehensive look at communication and social change specifically targeted to climate change"--Cover, p. [4].

Creating a climate for change  : communicating climate change and facilitating social change / edited by Susanne C. Moser and Lisa Dilling.

xii, 286 pages : color illustrations, color maps ; 26 cm

Climate stabilization targets : emissions, concentrations, and impacts over decades to millenia / Committee on Stabilization Targets for Atmospheric Greenhouse Gas Concentrations, Board on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate, Division on Earth and Life Studies, National Research Council.

In explaining why there is no consensus on whether global warming is real or a myth based on misleading data, Philander "guides the nonscientific reader through new ideas about the remarkable and intricate factors that determine the world's climate."--Jacket.

Is the temperature rising? : the uncertain science of global warming / S. George Philander.

"The size and severity of the global climate crisis is such that even the most committed environmentalists can drift into a state of denial. The award-winning writers collected here have made it their task to shake off this nagging disbelief, bringing the incomprehensible within our grasp and shaping an emotional response to the deterioration of our global habitat."--P. [4] of cover.

I'm with the bears / Margaret Atwood[and others] ; introduced by Bill McKibben ; edited by Mark Martin.

xiv, 239 pages : illustrations, maps ; 20 cm

How bad are bananas? : the carbon footprint of everything / Mike Berners-Lee.

The report ...calls for a "twin track approach that combines stringent mitigation to limit 21st Century warming to less than 2°C (3.6° F) with strengthened international cooperation on adaptation. On mitigation, the authors call on developed countries to ... cut greenhouse gas emissions by at least 80% of 1990 levels by 2050. It advocates a mix of carbon taxation, more stringent cap-and-trade programmes, energy regulation, and international cooperation on financing for low-carbon technology transfer. Turning to adaptation, the report warns that inequalities in ability to cope with climate change are emerging as an increasingly powerful driver of wider inequalities between and within counties. It calls on rich countries to put climate change adaptation at the centre of international partnerships on poverty reduction.

399 unnumbered pages : illustrations ; 28 cm
