Global Warming Unchecked: Signs to Watch for Book
A field guide to the greenhouse effect, "Global Warming Unchecked" focuses on the near-term changes in weather patterns we can watch for as signs of global warming. According to Harold W.

The weather patterns of the 1990s may offer compelling evidence that we have crossed the Rubicon of global warming.
