[Taylor Cline · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a book that I would only recommend to someone with a degree in science. The physical basis is exactly what it sounds like. This is the data and experiments studying general changes in climate. This is volume 3 and they also have a volume 1 for the general audience but this section is full of physics, chemistry, and geology. Being that I am studying to be an atmospheric chemist it was a must that I read the full report (like 1200 Pages) to know what I'm doing.

If you want to discuss the principles and findings in this book I am happy to do so but am not going to take time to write that much here

The 2007 IPCC report is the largest and most detailed summary of the current climate change science ever performed, involving scientific data from thousands of experts from all over the globe.

Step 1) read it.
Step 2) understand it.
Step 3) do something about the issue of climate change.

If you are having difficulty achieving step 2, you might want to stop whatever else you are doing, reach down, take a firm grip and pull your head out...
