Watch for the alarmists to heavily criticize this alarmist book, since it's not even written by climatologists

For Dummies series tackles climate change - Nova Scotia News - TheChronicleHerald.ca

Following the For Dummies series formula, the fact-packed book explains climate science with plenty of drawings, charts, and graphs; and icons in the margins alert readers to information considered to be technical stuff, situation critical, good news, or controversial, as well as information to remember while studying the subject. A "cheat sheet" at the front condenses the contents for quick digestion.

Both authors are globally recognised environmental activists. Ms. May, currently federal Green Party leader, was executive director of the Sierra Club of Canada for 17 years and policy adviser to former prime minister Brian Mulroney. Ms. Caron’s pedigree includes membership in the Canadian Youth Climate Change Coalition and the board of directors of the Sierra Club of Canada.

But Global Warming, which took two years to write, could not be a soap box for their viewpoints.

"It’s a completely different experience to write something in the Dummies series," said Ms. May, whose previous five books include How to Change the World in Your Spare Time, about getting involved in democracy, and a look at the Canadian forest industry called At the Cutting Edge. "You’re not allowed to write opinion at all. My respect for what the Dummies people do has gone away up."
