It’s no longer an abstract idea; it’s being felt locally, on every level. Climate Change and Extreme Weather gives you the tools to better understand what’s behind climate change, what might be in store during the coming decades, and how we can begin to reverse the detrimental effects mankind has had on the atmosphere.

What sort of Orwellian nightmare is this when the powers that be and their cohorts convince us that we are at war with the weather and leads us to believe that we can ever win this ongoing battle? With ...
