- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Michael McElroy provides and excellent analysis of the global warming situation. He provides sufficient background information, explains the potential affects of the increase in greenhouse gases, and provides an update on the status of progress in reacting to the problem (albeit written in 2002). I strongly recommend this book to anyone interested in global warming, which should be everyone.
