Climate change is one of the most hotly debated issues of this century. Politicians have risen and fallen on its wake, elections have been fought around it, and international leaders have come under unprecedented scrutiny by civil society. As Australia is battered by hotter summers, more frequent and severe floods, devastating bushfires, water shortages in capital cities, and coastal erosion on its beaches, more and more often the question being asked is , 'Is climate change the cause?' This book provides a clear, balanced account of the science on climate change, how it is affecting the planet and Australia, and the policy options available to Australia and the world to deal with it. It draws on the expertise of its authors from the disciplines of science, economics, geography and international law. Inquisitive readership will find this book compelling.

This is an engaging and well-written book. ... It largely achieves the aim and does provide a clear and readable account of the authors' analysis of several important issues relating to the complex topic of climate change. It is refreshingly honest in explaining to the reader its predominant point of view from the outset. For anyone interested in climate change and the debate surrounding it, this eclectic and wide ranging work is definitely worth reading, as a well referenced general introduction to many recent issues surrounding anthropogenic global warming and the international and domestic policy and legal response to it.
