An important and salient work that, especially in Part I, tells an important story from the vantage point of someone very much in the thick of climate and energy policy. That this is the work of a knowledgeable scientist whose work in academia, industry, and government (last in the Obama admin's Energy Department) puts him at the very heart of the international effort to figure out what is happening to the earth's climate (for whatever cause) and collaborate on potential ways to address it, makes the story within all the more compelling and critical to understand. Should be required high school/university reading for young people, the most worried, but least informed, about climate and the supposed looming catastrophes related to it.
The climate is changing, man is contributing to it, but what you think you know after that is largely not backed by real-life science.
