Material on Climate Change

As I mentioned in class when we were examining the international law on the environment, a good though now slightly dated book on global warming and climate change is Tim Flannery, The Weather Makers: How Man is Changing the Climate and what it Means for Life on Earth (2005). Also good, and slightly dated, is Al Gore's movie An Inconvenient Truth. While some details in the movie have been questioned or refuted, it remains a good presentation of the overarching arguments. The evidence has only become stronger since the mid-2000s when both this book and movie were published, and the scientific consensus on the issue of man-induced global warming is now considerably stronger than it was then.
