The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change

Author:
Yoram Bauman
Illustrator:
Grady Klein
Description:
Climate change is no laughing matter -- but maybe there's room for humor. The topic is so critical that everyone, from students to policy-makers to voters, needs a quick and easy guide to the basics. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change entertains as it educates, delivering a unique and enjoyable presentation of mind-blowing facts and critical concepts. "Stand-up economist" Yoram Bauman and award-winning illustrator Grady Klein have created the most engaging overview of climate science, predictions, and policy that you'll ever read. You'll learn about everything from Milankovitch cycles to carbon taxes. This cartoon introduction is based on the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Report and integrates Bauman's expertise on economics and policy. Sociologists have argued that we don't address global warming because it's too big and frightening to get our heads around. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change takes the intimidation and gloom out of one of the most complex and hotly debated challenges of our time.
