Climate Change in understandable format

This book is very enlightening although easy to understand. It puts factual basis behind the global climate crisis and evaluates the real scope of the problem. It also addresses the political side of the argument in an understandable and interesting fashion. A very good read for anyone interested in the green movement, especially those who are just getting in on it.
