Climate Change 2013 – The Physical Science Basis: Working Group I Contribution to the Fifth Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 1st Edition

Climate Change 2013 is an extraordinary technical publication. The text, the tables, and the superb graphics describe both the history and the future of this phenomenon. The 24-page Summary for Policymakers should be required reading for all government officials.Chapter 5, "Information from Paleoclimate Archives" provides an invaluable historical foundation for the conclusions reached by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.At $9.90 per pound, it is a bargain.

I love this book but I hate its size. It should be divided into two separate volumes.

Great book, but too heavy

Unbeatable quality. TOO heavy though.

This is a great book, part of a 4 volume set published every few years by the IPCC. If you can suffer through reading PDF's, the volumes are all available online for free download on the IPCC website.

A must read. Excellent. Buy it. Its worth it. Yes big and clumsey. Hope they break it up into a few volumes. Will have historical signifigance soon.
