Fire and flood : a people's history of climate change, from 1979 to the present
(Book)

Includes bibliographical references (pages 275-276) and index.

Journalist Linden pulls no punches in this urgent look at the causes and progression of climate change, the science that proved its existence, and what could have been done to mitigate it. He begins in the 1980s, when "the rise in global temperatures first began to separate itself from the noise of annual variations," and continues up through the 2010s, which saw the first "widespread public alarm" over climate change, showing in meticulous detail how today's climate reckoning stems from government failures in the United States and elsewhere, missed opportunities, and from outright misinformation.
