Storm World: Hurricanes, Politics, and the Battle Over Global Warming by Chris Mooney
Fred's review
rating:
Lots of insight to be gained into the politics of global warming in this explanation of the disconnect between hurricane researchers and climate modelers.
The author is clearly in camp with the atmospheric modeler community, but does a pretty fair summary of the strengths and weaknesses in the science of both communities.
Finally, there is some documentation of the Bush administration's PR filter on NOAA scientists. None of this is breaking news, but presented in this very readable books makes you feel like you have a good handle on the current science, issues and personalities involved in the ongoing debate.
