Climate is no laughing matter -- but it beats crying. Maybe this is the secret passage into people's hearts and minds. --James E. Hansen, former Director, Goddard Institute for Space Studies, author of Storms of My Grandchildren I know we're trashing the planet, but do we have to add to our misery by reading gloom and doom books about it? The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change offers another way: learn some serious science, evaluate strategies for change, and have a good laugh in the process. --Annie Leonard, creator of The Story of Stuff The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change will tickle your fancy while expanding your mind. Highly recommended. --Martin Weitzman, Professor of Economics, Harvard University A clear, concise rendition of the story of human-induced climate change, candid and yet brimming with warm-hearted humor and well-founded optimism.

You can find many dull books on the subject. A better bet is The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change, which tickles and teaches at the same time.
