Learn more about what climate change means and how it’s affecting our planet.
The earth is definitely getting warmer. There’s no argument about that, but who or what is the cause? And why has climate change become a political issue? Are humans at fault? Is this just a natural development? While the vast majority of scientists who study the environment agree that humans play a large part in climate change, there is a counterargument. Author Gail Herman presents both sides of the debate in this fact-based, fair-minded, and well-researched book that looks at the subject from many perspectives, including scientific, social, and political.

地球暖化是不爭的事實，但究竟導致暖化的元兇是誰？為什麼氣候變遷會成為政治議題？人類是否該承擔暖化之責？還是這只是自然必經的發展呢？絕大多數的環境科學家都認為人類深深影響了氣候變遷，然而有些人並不認同這樣的觀點。在這本態度公正、實事求是、資料經過充分考究的書中，作者 Gail Herman 陳述雙方觀點，並從科學、社會及政治等各個層面深入探究此議題。
