    About this ebook

    Climate change is no laughing matter-but maybe it should be. The topic is so critical that everyone, from students to policy-makers to voters, needs a quick and easy guide to the basics. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change entertains as it educates, delivering a unique and enjoyable presentation of mind-blowing facts and critical concepts.
    "Stand-up economist" Yoram Bauman and award-winning illustrator Grady Klein have created the funniest overview of climate science, predictions, and policy that you’ll ever read. You’ll giggle, but you’ll also learn-about everything from Milankovitch cycles to carbon taxes.

    If those subjects sound daunting, consider that Bauman and Klein have already written two enormously successful cartoon guides to economics, making this notoriously dismal science accessible to countless readers. Bauman has a PhD in economics and has taught at both the high school and college level, but he now makes a living performing at comedy clubs, universities, and conferences, sharing the stage with personalities as diverse as Robin Williams and Paul Krugman.

    The authors know how to get a laugh-and they know their facts. This cartoon introduction is based on the latest report from the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and integrates Bauman’s expertise on economics and policy.

    If economics can be funny, then climate science can be a riot. Sociologists have argued that we don’t address global warming because it’s too big and frightening to get our heads around. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change takes the intimidation and gloom out of one of the mcomplex and hotly debated challenges of our time.

      A pretty good look at climate change, from the evidence that it is indeed happening to the options we might pursue to mitigate it. Very informative and even-handed.Too bad it doesn't look good. The art is all grayscale and wobbly, with thick and blotchy lines that often fail to connect or drop out in the middle. It reminded me of an old comic strip hanging on an officer worker's cubicle wall that was third-generation photocopy of a fax of a mimeograph.
    • 3/5
      A quick and easy read, but frustrating. Some of the statements are mistaken information, and the solutions are pat, simple, market based technological innovations, with no reference to the fact that there are real downsides to most of the solutions mentioned. The book is typical of books of the sort written by economists who are environmentally conscious, but want to make money from climate change. They did some good research, but there were places that could have used better fact checking, and better information.
