"Andrew Weaver is one of the few scientists of his generation with the courage and conviction to put his career on the line and speak out about an issue (climate change) that he understands perhaps better than any other Canadian. For his remarkable work in the field-and for this clear and easily understandable book-we owe him a debt of gratitude." David Suzuki The reality of global warming has long been accepted within the scientific community, yet it remains a hotly debated topic at the political and social level. Why? Is it because the ultimate effects of global warming will not be felt in our lifetimes? Do we feel no responsibility for future generations? Dr. Weaver contends that, just as humans have been responsible for creating the problem of global warming, we must also be the solution. Dr. Andrew J. Weaver, Canada's top climate scientist, is professor and Research Chair in climate modeling and analysis at the University of Victoria. He was a lead author in the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, co-recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
