The topic is so critical that everyone, from students to policy-makers to voters, needs a quick and easy guide to the basics. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change entertains as it educates, delivering a unique and enjoyable presentation of mind-blowing facts and critical concepts. "Stand-up economist" Yoram Bauman and award-winning illustrator Grady Klein have created the funniest overview of climate science, predictions, and policy that you?ll ever read. You?ll giggle, but you?ll also learn?about everything from Milankovitch cycles to carbon taxes. If those subjects sound daunting, consider that Bauman and Klein have already written two enormously successful cartoon guides to economics, making this notoriously dismal science accessible to countless readers. Bauman has a PhD in economics and has taught at both the high school and college level, but he now makes a living performing at comedy clubs, universities, and conferences, sharing the stage with personalities as diverse as Robin Williams and Paul Krugman. The authors know how to get a laugh?and they know their facts. This cartoon introduction is based on the latest report from the authoritative Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and integrates Bauman?s expertise on economics and policy. If economics can be funny, then climate science can be a riot. Sociologists have argued that we don?t address global warming because it?s too big and frightening to get our heads around. The Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change takes the intimidation and gloom out of one of the most complex and hotly debated challenges of our time. 606 $aClimate change 606 $aClimate Change$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U12007 606 $aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/313000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 608 $aGraphic novels.$2lcgft 608 $aGraphic novels$zUnited States.$2local 615 0$aClimate change. 615 14$aClimate Change. 615 24$aClimate Change/Climate Change Impacts. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 676 $a333.7 700 $aBauman$b Yoram$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01059188 702 $aKlein$b Grady$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298368303321 996 $aThe Cartoon Introduction to Climate Change$92504595 997 $aUNINA
