...The resulting book, “ The Climate War: True Believers, Power Brokers and the Fight to Save the Planet,” is a fascinating, if depressing, look at how Washington works — or doesn’t work, if your goal is meaningful laws limiting the human impact on climate. The cast of characters ranges from former Vice President Al Gore and James Hansen, the NASA climatologist who has become an impassioned climate campaigner, to Frank Luntz, the longtime political and semantic strategist for Republicans — and, in this case, environmentalists.

The book vividly reveals the layers of financial and political interests that can eviscerate environmental legislation and describes the tussle within the Obama White House over how hard to push on climate.
