Why write a book?
Toward the end of 2009, depending on who you listened to, climate science was either "the greatest moral issue of our time", or "the science is highly contentious to say the least". With such divergent public views, many non-scientific friends asked my opinion because I am a scientist, albeit a geologist with no prior involvement in climate. Well, precisely because I am a scientist I was not going to voice an opinion until I knew what it was the climate scientists were actually saying. Over the next two years I found out, and so I wrote this book for my friends and for any enquiring reader. I have avoided the use of scientific jargon to provide a reader‐friendly explanation of the science of climate change. It is concise but comprehensive and richly illustrated with a wealth of full-colour figures and photographs. A Short Introduction to Climate Change is essential reading for anyone who has an interest in climate science and the future of our planet. It is not a text book, but if you are thinking of studying climate science, this book would be a perfect starting point.
