CLIMATE CHANGE: What Everyone Needs to Know. Joseph Romm. One of the United Kingdom’s most influential communicators on climate science and solutions provides a compact primer on what everyone should know. He starts with a chapter on climate science basics, then describes the causal links to more extreme weather, explores the projected impacts of climate change and how to avoid the worst impacts, explores climate politics and policies, and examines the role of clean energy. A final chapter, “Climate Change and You,” explores some of the more personal questions that climate change raises for individuals and families. Oxford University Press, 2016, 302 pp., $16.95.
