Seeking for conversations to "shift beyond the basic questions that have been settled for some years," Bedford (geography, Weber State Univ., UT) and Cook (climate communications fellow, Global Change Inst., Univ. of Queensland, Australia; founder, SkepticalScience.com) address 35 of the "most common questions about our understanding of climate change." In five chapters, they cover the fact-based evidence that climate is changing, that human activity has been the cause, the current and projected impact, the "robust scientific consensus," and prospects for addressing its challenges.
VERDICT A helpful baseline for this highly charged, scientifically complex topic.
