    This book provides a concise yet accessible summary of the science behind climate change and addresses common arguments made by climate change skeptics. It debunks myths about topics like the causes of climate change, the reliability of climate data, and proposed policy solutions. While the book is well-researched and explains concepts clearly, some criticisms are that it does not sufficiently acknowledge the livestock industry's role in greenhouse gas emissions or focus on the potential environmental effects of climate change. Suggestions for improvement include discussing the impacts of livestock, specifying where climate change problems occur, and avoiding dense scientific explanations.

    “How to Change Minds about Our Changing Climate”

    By: Seth B. Darling and Douglas L. Sisterson

    This book is good to those people have love science because the entire
    book explains the climate change like what are the caused and etc. which
    have correlation in science. This book is an example of nonfiction book. If
    you can see the title you can already understand what the book all about is.
    It is easy to understand what is all about climate change because the words
    used in the book are generics.

    This is very concise and surprisingly an accessible little book that


    outlines and debunks nearly every argument that sceptics like to trot out
    against climate change, providing the background and science necessary to
    understand why the climate is changing, how we know what the causes
    effects are. The authors have done a good job of condensing a huge amount
    of information into this little book, and for someone curious about some
    sceptics’ arguments, it’s certainly worth a read. This book is easy to read,
    and clearly explained, the arguments of climate sceptics are debunked one
    by one in this important book. I say this is important because this book is
    related in climate change and climate change is related in our environment.
    This can help us prevent doing bad effects in our environment. I had no idea
    there was a difference in global warming and climate change are, but that is
    explained here which is great. Definitely worth a read even I am not yet done
    reading this book because it sets the facts straight and provides solutions
    and a summary are included at the end of each chapter, also there are some
    helpful “image summaries” throughout. An excellent read to help debunk the
    entire climate change all myths that are so prevalent. The authors take us
    through each myth; shows what the real deal is, scientifically and often in a
    humorous manner. I definitely recommend this book for everyone, supporter
    or denier should be on everyone’s must read list. This book is good because
    it covers a lot of ground about climate change. You don’t need a degree in
    science to understand the basic principles of climate change, but you do
    need to have some facts, straight facts that we’re confident you’ll have at
    hand after reading this book. The author which are Seth B. Darling and
    Douglas L. Sisterson use clear and accessible explanations of what we do
    and don’t know about the science specifically in climate change because the
    main topic or focus is climate change. One reason why this book is good
    because it starts swinging from the beginning, tackling the most common
    myths about climate change that are perpetuated by sceptics, who quite
    frankly, usually label themselves as “conservative”. There also many
    question in you about climate change that can answer in this book. You can
    also see in this book the ratio of record on high and low temperature of each
    decade starting from 1950s-2000s. By reading this book I learn that the
    growth of Antarctic sea ice cycle which is the open sea become sea ice forms
    then the wind pushes ice apart and ocean circulation pushes ice apart then it
    then goes back to become an open sea. That’s why I consider this book as
    one of the best books. I also learn the Milankovitch cycle in page 108 which
    is the first step is precession then the second step is obliquity and the third
    step is eccentricity. I also like this book because even just by reading the
    title of every chapter you already know what it is all about in that chapter. By
    reading this book there are many things you learn like climate change is bad
    or good, why we don’t need to worry, If climate change happen or not, If we
    are the reason why there is climate change, If global warming is the result of
    natural cycles or not, If scientists are split on whether humans are affecting
    by the climate, if the renewable energy is too expensive to replace fossil
    fuels. If you read this book there are so many things you learn like there is
    no link between carbon dioxide and global temperature, more carbon dioxide
    won’t make difference, there is no link between warming and extreme
    weather, renewable energy is too expensive or too variable, Carbon taxes or
    cap-and-trade system will destroys the economy, kill jobs, and hurt the poor.

    The bad thing of this book it is that is just a little too smart for its own
    good. Each response to climate change denial goes on for several dense
    pages of scientific explanation and stats. Nuanced arguments with
    supporting facts have no specific place, unfortunately, on cable and radio
    news, and debate shows even newspaper, which have all the intelligence.
    The deep disappointment in this book is that despite statements like
    “Methane is a much more powerful greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide,”
    the author refuses to acknowledge the major contributor of these nasty
    greenhouse gasses. One thing can’t this discuss the author is the livestock
    industry’s considerable impact upon our Earth and climate has been
    mentioned before; in fact, an entire documentary film has been made about
    it. Yet the author never mentions dietary choices and instead makes
    statements. Also the bad thing in this book is they can’t focus the
    environmental if what is the effect.

    My first suggestion to the author is to discuss the livestock industry’s


    considerable impact of climate change because for the people who find the
    reason why the livestock is bad they find the reason because you discuss
    what is the reason why the livestock is bad. My second suggestion to the
    author is write the specific place for the people wants to know where the
    problem happens about climate change. My third suggestion to the author in
    this book is don’t despite statement. My fourth suggestion to the author is
    mention dietary choices. Focus the environmental effect of Climate Change if
    good or Bad to know the entire Environmentalist what will happen in the
    environment if The Climate Change is bad and also this is advantage to the
    Environmentalist to make or experiment what is the solution if Climate
    Change happen. My fifth suggestion to the author is don’t despite the
    statement. My sixth suggestion to the author is don’t denial the response of
    climate change for several dense pages of scientific explanation and stats.
