Reporting on Climate Change: Understanding the Science - Softcover

The Environmental Law Institute is pleased to announce the release of the fourth edition of its landmark book, Reporting on Climate Change: Understanding the Science. Edited by L. Jeremy Richardson and Bud Ward, this bestselling guide helps journalists-both reporters and editors-understand and report on the scientific issues related to global climate change. Initially conceived to be exclusively for the members of the media, it has evolved over time as a resource also for formal and informal climate science educators and for other communicators needing a "plain English" grasp of climate science.
 

Replete with four-color charts, graphs, and graphics that explain the complex scientific issues, this new edition provides readers with timely updates to recent events in the ongoing climate debate, including the UK e-mail hacking scandal, as well as new developments in the science itself. For reporters who are generalists rather than specialists in science or environmental writing, this guide provides an in-depth look at what we do know and still don't know about climate change, all in non-technical terms.
