In this never-dull, easy-to-understand guide, Dr Karl explores the science of climate change, and how we can fix it. (We can!)

How do Greenhouse Gas molecules shimmy and shake to trap 400,000 Hiroshima atom bombs' worth of the Sun's heat each day? Who did the early research in Climate Change and then spent billions trying to cover it up? What's the Hockey Stick Graph and why is it so important? How did Climate Change tip the Earth off its axis? Why was Sydney the hottest place on Earth on 4 January 2020? How can we move to zero and even negative emissions? How can kelp help? When it comes to long-haul transport, why is hydrogen the way to go? AND MUCH MORE!

Dr Karl Kruszelnicki AM just loves science to pieces, and has been spreading the word in print, on TV and radio and online for more than thirty years.The author of 45 books, Dr Karl is a lifetime student with degrees in physics and mathematics, biomedical engineering, medicine and surgery. He has worked as a physicist, labourer, roadie for bands, car mechanic, filmmaker, biomedical engineer, taxi driver, TV weatherman, and medical doctor at the Children's Hospital in Sydney. Dr Karl has test driven four-wheel-drives through the Australian Outback for two decades, covering fifteen of the seventeen deserts. Since 1995, he has been the Julius Sumner Miller Fellow at the University of Sydney. Karl Kruszelnicki AM is a popular Australian science communicator. When NASA classified Karl as non-astronaut material in 1981 he walked straight into ABC Radio station Double J and offered to talk about the space shuttle launch. They said 'okay' and his radio career took off from there. Since then, his media career has exploded from radio, to TV, books, newspapers, magazines, scripting, professional speaking and, of course, the Net. His enthusiasm for science is totally infectious and no one is better able to convey the excitement and wonder of it all than Dr Karl Kruszelnicki.
