wfzimmerman’s review: “Essential reading for anyone interested in climate change. I remain somewhat troubled by the IPCC’s pseudo-scientific assignment of numeric probabilities of confidence to their judgments.”
wfzimmerman’s review: “Absolutely the best from Barnes, who is, unfortunately, a rather inconsistent writer.”
