Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming - Hardcover

PRAISE FOR STORM WORLD
 
"Mooney chose to walk a minefield in attempting to assess a controversial and quickly evolving field in climate research. He not only succeeded in producing a fair and accurate description of the science, but produced a fascinating read as well."--Climatologist Michael Mann of RealClimate.org "Storm World is a gripping story about the controversy and strong personalities surrounding hurricanes and the issue of global warming, where scientists and politicians--and their often clashing agendas--collide."--Rick Anthes, President, American Meteorological Society and President, University Corporation for Atmospheric Research "Storm World is of unique importance to all with environmental interests, especially those who find themselves conflicted on one of the world’s most important issues: the significance of global warming, its potential impact on the environment, and in particular on the frequency and strength of destructive hurricanes."--Dr. Robert Simpson, former director of the National Hurricane Center, and Dr. Joanne Simpson, former President of the American Meteorological Society and recipient of a Carl-Gustaf Rossby Award.  PRAISE FOR THE REPUBLICAN WAR ON SCIENCE 
 
"Nothing short of a landmark in contemporary political reporting."?Salon.com "A well-researched, closely argued and amply referenced indictment of the right wing's assault on science and scientists . . . Thankfully, Mooney is both a wonk and a clear writer."?Scientific American
