Tim Flannery
Originally skeptical of global warming, Flannery spent years compiling his own research. What he learned is sobering. Human beings are weather makers whose production of carbon dioxide is polluting the planet at a devastating rate. Species are disappearing, the natural world is changing, and weather events, like Hurricane Katrina, are becoming increasingly disastrous. But as Flannery shows, there are cleaner ways to live, and doing so is the only way to avoid global catastrophe.
Alarming but filled with ideas that inspire hope, The Weather Makers could be the most important book you ever hear.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Straightforward and powerfully written....Destined to become required reading." (Publishers Weekly)
"This work is distinctive in its marriage of science to an act-now attitude and should energize environmentally minded readers." (Booklist)

However, as a skeptic trying to find the faith, I found the arguments scattered and weak. I needed a clear presention of the evidence both for and against the prediction of global catastrophe, even if the verdict was prejudiced. Instead, I got lots of examples of how delicate the environment is, of how unbelievers are somehow blinded or dishonest, and lots of fire & brimstone types of adjectives.
That, and a general lack of organization in the work, made The Weathermakers not just unconvincing, but often tedious.

Bias and Scattered

I found the book 'reads' like a collection of unorganized, random thoughts. There are way too many angles being explored without a unifying message. In the end, as someone who does not need much convincing of our impact to the climate, I just found myself lost. If I am someone who need to be convinced that human activities have a adverse impact on the climate and immediate action is required.... then this would not be the book to sell me on it!
