"Nathan Cool's is perhaps the most thoughtful, comprehensive, well-written--and accessible--study of global warming I've ever read. If Is it Hot in Here? were being taught in high schools and colleges, we might not be suffering through this problem at all." |
--Aaron Kenedi, Editor-in-Chief, Shift Magazine |
"Nathan Cool takes an applied science background, that of a surf weather forecaster, to the intricacies of global warming. This is the book for those who want to learn about issues related to global warming not from a science textbook nor a fictional book of conspiracy theory. Nathan skips the detailed physics of global warming and jumps around the hard-nosed science to explore recent issues that make the headlines, coffee conversations, and political debates. The reader isn't pushed around by conspiracy theorists, jargoned scientists, aggressive environmentalists, financial investors, or people with agendas outside of the science and reality of the issue and future of the planet. Rather, the nuts and bolts of the science, scientific process, political realities, and main debates over global warming are spelled out with a simple mix of history, simple analogies, and basic logic." |

"With an informative and entertaining style, Nathan cuts through the many confusing and contradictory dialogues swarming around the global warming debate. When you read it, you'll see that it's not just the-sky-is-falling environmentalists who should be paying attention to voices like Cool's--everyone on the planet needs to understand the potentially radical changes that are in store for us." |
--Gwen Mickelson, Santa Cruz Sentinel |
"How can you not love a book with a chapter titled When Termites Fart?" |
