Review :

"Energy and Climate Change is an exemplary work."
- Carl Sagan

""Refreshing...deserves wide readership among its intended audience in Washington...will benefit scientists outside of or new to the field, students, and interested nonscientists...[would] serve well as the unifying text for a seminar course on the scientific issues surrounding climate change."
- Daniel S. Wilks, 1991, Bulletin American Meteorological Society
